I've been asked to find out the value of these & possibly sell them for the owner, but I don't know enough about this stuff to value it.

First up is this dress watch in what appears to be sold gold, with a solid gold Omega bracelet.




Next is possibly a solid gold Seamaster auto - certainly the bracelet appears to be a solid gold Omega job.




This Constellation is plated & has a plated Omega bracelet




The Longines is I suspect plated & comes on a after-market plated bracelet.



Any info gratefully received and if anyone is prepared to offer their expert advice, I have more photo's that I can email.

Thanks in advance.

Lot of very knowledgeable guys on WUS in the Omega section Andy, as you probably are aware of.

In the meantime THIS GUY has some similar bits in.

he may be worth a chat to?

I suspect that the first two Omegas will be worth most as scrap.

Sadly, probably true.

If you go down this path, ask the dealer for a bracelet only price - I'd have thought that this will be a huge majority of the overall price, and the watch itself might survive to adorn another strap.

Straps yes, heads obviously not, and given the finish to the first one it would be a crime to separate them.

Could be interested in either of the last two s.t dimensions, condition, and of course them being petrol- station Casio money hehe

The Longines is probably gold filled rather than plated.

Thanks for all the input - the owner is going to keep the watches for a while.
