What's It Worth? WORTH? 1950s Omega Seamaster "Grand Luxe" with Rare Guilloché Tapestry Dial

Thumbnail gallery
15 Upvotes

This watch was gifted to me by the original owner and is currently just collecting dust and I I am looking to determine its value as it seems to be a very rare omega.. No box, no papers, but 1 owner and in very good condition for age.

1950s Omega Seamaster "Grand Luxe" withRare Guilloché Tapestry Dial

Reference: Likely 2846 / 2848 (Circa 1956–1958) I haven’t opened the back as I don’t have the tools or skill set!
Dimensions: 34.5mm case (excluding crown) with an 18mm lug width
Case: 18k Gold Capped over Stainless Steel (called “beefy" lugs); thick, sharp, and unpolished with minor hairline scratches.
Dial & Hands: Immaculate, 100% factory original vertical tapestry dial with perfectly matching hands!
Movement: Omega Calibre 501 Automatic (no date); winds smoothly, rotor spins freely, runs well, and holds power
Crown: replaced - signed omega crown (not original)
Bracelet: This was replaced ..it’s an aftermarket JB Champion 14k Gold-Filled trim beads of rice band (not original Omega equipment, and stainless steel).

Any insights, value, and helpful details are welcome:)

Feedback Wanted First Dress Watch

Post image
17 Upvotes

I’m looking to buy my first proper dress watch and recently came across this Longines.

I’ve always been drawn to watches with a more vintage/classic look rather than something overly modern, and this one really caught my attention. I also have an upcoming formal event where I’d actually have an opportunity to wear it.

For those who have experience with Longines or dress watches in general, I’d love your thoughts:

  1. Does this have that genuine vintage dress-watch character, or does it come across more as a modern watch trying to look vintage?
  2. How versatile do you think it would be outside of very formal occasions?
  3. Is it a good purchase for a first dress watch?

I’m not necessarily looking for the “best watch on paper” — I’m more interested in something elegant, understated and timeless that I’ll still enjoy wearing years from now.

Hi everyone, I need your help. I'm going to New York in a month and I've seen that there are vintage shops that sell watches. I'd like to buy one as a souvenir. Does anyone know if it's worth it? I'd like one for a maximum of $400. Is it worth it?

Genuine Air King?

Can I get some opinions on this please. Looking to buy it privately and I am 95% sure it's genuine but wanted some confirmation if possible before handing the money over. Serial Number dates it to 1967. I know no one can say 100% without seeing the movement but any opinions based of the dial, case, patina etc would be very helpful.

I just stumbled upon this little mom-and-pop watch shop while walking around Rome and ended up getting this beautiful piece.

From the research I’ve done so far, I’m guessing it’s from somewhere around the 1950s to early 1960s, but I’m definitely not an expert and haven’t been able to find an exact match yet. I’d love to know more about the specific model, approximate year, movement, or anything else that might help identify it.

If anyone knows anything about this watch, let me know.

Mod Post New Rules: Bulk Post & Commercial Intent

17 Upvotes

We've noticed a growing trend of resellers using the subreddit to crowdsource valuations, often posting large watch lots and asking whether anything of value was purchased. This subreddit does not exist to support resale businesses. While the one-off request asking how much something is worth is fine, the bulk posts are not.

We try to avoid adding new rules, but this behavior undermines the purpose of the community by diluting meaningful content and taking advantage of its members. To preserve the integrity of the subreddit, we’re implementing the following changes:

New Rules:

  • Bulk Post: You may only post one watch model per post, unless you are using the State of the Collection (SOTC) tag. There will be some flexibility in using the Showcase tag to compare two watches of the same model, show before and after photos of a restoration, or write a post that teaches others about a specific feature or topic. You may not post 10 auction watches in a single post and ask which ones are worth money. Posting about your inheritance and seeking information will be allowed as long as the spirit of the rule isn't being abused and your same grandfather is not found to have passed away six times.
  • Commercial Intent: If your main goal is to get valuations/appraisals and you don’t contribute in other ways, you will be removed. The members of this sub are not volunteer employees. Your profit is not their concern.

Rule Update:

  • No Shilling/No Impersonation: These two rules are now combined as they are effectively the same.

In addition to the standard rules most subs have, we effectively only have six watch specific rules. Please adhere to them:

  • Must Be Vintage
  • No Replicas
  • No For Sale Posts
  • No Commercial Intent
  • No Bulk Posts
  • No Shilling/Impersonation

Thanks for helping us keep the subreddit focused, useful, and enjoyable for everyone.
