Watch ID and Value

[bigweb]

Hi Guys can any of you ID this old watch I have.

Its very tarnished and has a little break in one of the links.

Any ideas of value? Should I get it fixed and then ebay it or just bung it on there otherwise?

I'm not expecting it to be worth much as its not in the best condition although it keeps perfect time so I am assuming it is a quartz?

Take a look on ebay for ladies Omegas. Looks like a 70's watch. I think you're likely to be disappointed on value. I bought a 14K 1950's Omega for the wife for £70. Ladies watches do not fetch much 2nd hand.

Looks like the strap is a gold coloured base metal. If so, I wouldn't bother trying to fix it. It would probably cost more than a new strap.

Of course it's a totally different story if the strap has a hallmark.

Underneath the clasp on the stap is stamped the word 'Silver'

Will this make any difference?

It'll make the strap worth a bit more and crucially it makes the strap repairable. Silver can be soldered.

There will be a hallmark near the word silver that will tell you what the purity is.
Use ebay to see what the value is likely to be.
