2nd hand Omega value

[PH5121]

My dad is not a watch enthusiast, but has a Tag, a couple of Porsche watches and an Omega.
His Porsche watches are the ones he prefers being a Porsche enthusiast, and he doesn't even know what his Omega is, (cars are his only interest).
I would like to buy the Omega off him if he would sell it to me. It is 4 years old, was bought for him by my mum,and it has never been worn or had the protective plastic film removed.
I don't know if it is automatic or quartz, but knowing my mum it would not be the cheapest one in the range, I would guess it would have been around £1200.
It is a Sea master, looks a standard size, silver strap blue face. If he would sell it what would be a reasonable price considering I know its history and it is 100% genuine.

What's the exact model? Also, does the seconds hand sweep smoothly around the dial or tick, tick along in tiny increments?

Dependent on which movement and which size really.
Quartz mid size around £700
Auto mid size around £800
large size you're looking at adding £100-£200 to each of those.
These are low valuations but you must bear in mind it is four years old and both versions will need to be serviced.
Good luck,
Andrew

You service your watches every four years? even quartz ones? What do you need to get serviced every four years on a quartz watch?

Using a Seamaster as it's supposed to be used, you'd want the seals checked at least that often.

Seamasters used in sea water under pressure might not need servicing every 4 years ..? but I would !! I get mine done cheaper abroad. Last time for th ecase and stem seal. silicon grease on the stem and thread etc .And pressure testing costs me $30.00 max !!

never once let me down.

I would reccomend servicing any watch frequently.
Seals wear out batterys can wear out shock damage can effect both Quartz and auto's.
Waches are high precision mechanical devices and need to be looked after.
servcing prevents major faults occuring which can lead to repair bills of astronomical proportions or the prospect of getting a new watch.
