Omega Watch - FTAO Watch enthusiasts

Post by scotta »

Watch Folk. FIL has inherited this from his uncle that recently died.

Google hints that its an Omega Seamaster caliber 552 automatic.

Any ideas of value? Its been "well used" but looks decent.

Don’t be tempted to polish or improve it if you want to retain the most value. That has a nice patina and looks in good nick.
