Guys, have just been through a few bad weeks which culminated in being burgled whilst at father in laws funeral.

The theiving scum, amoung a load of other things stole a number of watches that I really have no idea of the value for insurance.

Any ideas would be gratefully accepted, internet seraches are proving a little difficult to pin down and the knowledge in this place, frankly, amazes me!

The first was a Breitling Chronometre Automatic - three dial face on a metal strap. I bought this in Singapore in '06 for around £3,500. Hardly worn, a few light marks on the strap, no marks to the face, bevel or casing. I probably have a picture somewhere if that helps.

Second. A Rado Jubile. Bought for £1,400 in 2004. Unmarked. Had a dark blue face with no markings, jewels etc, just a plain watch - it did have a date window.

Third was a ladies Raymond Weil. Picked it up non-working for £250 and had it repaired in 2005. Was about £1200 new from memory. Simple square design on a leather strap.

Now the gutting one. My Grandfathers 1946-47 Omega Calibre on a Bonklip gold strap. Worn and much loved - I really have no idea how much this would be worth. I had it serviced a few years back and is worked perfectly. If I could get this back I'd give up on the others, totally gutted that the bds found this.

So, any ideas? Other than installing a bear trap.

I can't assist with the valuations but I'm really gutted to hear about your bad luck.

Burglars & thiefs are scum of the earth.

Also can't add much but sorry for your family loss and for the break in. Hope things start to pick up for you.
