    I got a vintage Omega watch from my grandfather. He said is was from around 1950.
    I have no idea with type of Omega watch it is and what's the value of it.

    Can anyone help me?

    It's a manual winding wristwatch Omega powered by a 26X movement. Because the dial was badly repainted in wrong style, the value goes down to $150 max I guess

    Do you have any idea what serie this watch is? I have looked at 100s of photos on the internet but didn't find a watch that looks the same as this one?

    Don't waste your time by comparing the dials, like I said, the dial was badly and wrongly repainted, I bet you can look at 900 more and you still cannot find one
    You can open the case back, have a look at the inside and all the info are there

    Second watch is manual wind Seamaster deville. Probably a 6xx caliber early 60s maybe. Same as the first one, refinished dial. It's pretty obvious these watches were worn very often in all conditions. The refinished dials hammer the value and the wear reduces them to parts watches. $150 each as parts is a good guess. At least your grandfather got the maximum amount of use out of his pieces.

    The De Ville is not refinished. Just heavily aged

    The de ville is badly worn = low value, a couple of 100$ maybe

    Bad state, Omega font seems to be off, I'd say a redial. No further value than emotional value i would say.

    I have to agree, original dial but so badly worn its a moot point...not worth much.
