Could anyone value this for me please?
Discussion
OK, I'm really colourblind and you appear to have used a potato instead of a camera. But from what I can see:
Sub seconds Omega. I agree it's probably 1950's.
Crown is wonky.
Minute hand is loose and rattling around.
Dial appears grubby. Could be the lighting / camera work.
Case appears to have a stainless steel back. This would indicate gold plated or gold capped rather than a solid gold case.
There appears to be heavy brassing of the 5 and 11 o'clock lugs, where the gold plate was worn through to expose the brass case. This indicates gold plated rather than gold capped. Again, difficult to tell from the photos.
I can't see a Omega logo on the bracelet, so I'm going to say it's probably by a third party.
It does look like there might be hallmarks on the bracelet.
Value of watch:
Fully restored it's going to be about £400. You won't achieve more because of the brassing and the dial. To get it to that point, you'll need to spend £200 to £300 on service. Frankly if you're selling I wouldn't bother, just chuck it on ebay for spares or repairs with a £100 start price and let people value it for you.
Value of the bracelet:
If it's gold plated, it's zero. If the hallmarks say it's gold, then it's worth it's weight.
You really need to go to Omegaforums. But don't bother until you have much better photos. The above is my best guess based on the photos you've posted. The photos aren't great, so I could be off.
You could date the watch from the serial number on the movement. There will be a case reference number inside the case back that is the watches model number. If you're selling it will help you to photograph the inside case back and the movement.
Hope that helps.
