Some basic data....
In Response To: Tracing model ()

: My Omega Seamaster doesn't hve an outside bezel
: and no model number on the outside so I
: can't use pictures, etc to fully identify
: it. I recently had it repaired by Omega and
: the model number is shown as DR3860822
: (bought in 1992). I need to put it on my
: insurance in the UK. How much should I value
: it for?
: Thanks
: James Semple

Does this describe the watch ? .... (these are Omega codes I've used here)

I think DR describes the metal used for the case

DR = Bezel pink gold 18 ct. on steel

& the 386 from 3860822 translates to

3 - Gent's Bracelet Watch
8 - Electronic chronograph ( Quartz in plain English)
6 - Water-resistant Calender

This still doesn't help you value the watch though, sorry.
