Owning a nice watch

[KS55]

I have an Omega gold watch which my dad left me. Never wear it, it’s heavy and ugly, imo. No idea what it’s worth.

Put a pic and we can help you.

If it's a vintage Omega it could be anything from a couple of grand to 5 digits!

Thing I found about owning an expensive watch is the cost to repair them or maintain them. I spent £900 on a quartz replacement and service 2 years ago. The watch my grandad left me is as rare as rocking horse shit and the charging pin for that is almost £1500 as its made from gold! So rare infact omega had to call the specialist to come and appraise it so I could get it insured

Exactly my Omega cost £1500 for service and repair last year and my Rolex cost £900 for a service but they are appreciating assets that are not subject to inheritance tax :)

That's the second time you've said that..

Your both on the wind-up.

Couldn’t give a toss about inheritance tax as we don’t have kids but the appreciating asset line is something I’m telling myself to justify my desire for an Explorer…

Technically not only is it then free, it’s actually making me money…

Having said that the prices of watches are starting to fall compared to the last couple of years.

Depends on the model, Gold and Bi metal seem to be dropping but the stainless subs, GMT's and Daytona's are still commanding a premium on the grey market.

I've lusted after a Planet Ocean 600mm in the larger size (43.5mm) for ages. What a lovely watch. Did you go for the metal bracelet ?
