    It´s quite tricky for us to value a watch when all we have to go on is an advertisement for a watch.

    Why don´t you check Ebay for completed listings? This will give you an idea of price range and you can value your own based on its condition.

    A pawn shop won't pay near the price you could sell it for on eBay, which isn't much to be honest. If you can't show that it works (which it might not if the previous dead battery leaked) you won't get the best price for it.

    Well to be honest 1980s battery operated quartz Omega watches are not really my field but what I would suggest is that you put a battery in it and see if it works before you attempt to sell it to the pawn shop.

    I think your best bet to achieve the maximum value would be to get it running and stick it on Ebay with no reserve. I don´t think it would make more than 2-300 Euros, maybe a bit more as it has the bracelet in decent shape and the condition looks from your pictures to be pretty good. I can´t see a pawn shop offering more than 100-150 Euros as is without the battery.

    You may find the valuation low but these models are not really collected, at least I don´t know anybody with one.

    I agree with Cristos. There was one auction back in 2013 where women Ying yang sold for USD 483 on eBay:
    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Omega-Yin...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
    A german seller unsuccessfully trying to sell it for higher price (EURO 500)

    ...and another german seller offering at chrono 24 for similar Symbol Deville quartz for USD 500
    http://www.chrono24.com/en/omega/de-ville--id2887549.htm?id=2887549&picnum=1&tab=pics


    So probably you can get USD 300-400 if it work with open auction at eBay.
    I doubt pawnshop will pay more than USD 100. This is not fast turn over item.

    The movement is not the best, I would rather give it a skip.

    I think what Luie wanted to say, but forgot, was, ` Thanks guys for the advice and for the guideline price range, I´ll let you all know how I get on .`
