: Hi Spencer,

: You don't say where you are from but I recently
: had my two vintage Omegas appraised
: professionally by National Gemological Svc
: Ltd from Belleville, Michigan. Their phone #
: is (313) 399-7260. They were at the auth
: dealer that I bought my new Omega AT from.
: The two vintage watches that I own are from
: the late sixties. The one is a two tone 14K
: gold plated and SS. It is not in the best
: condition and I paid $100.00 USD. It
: appraised for $250.00 USD. The other is very
: nice and I paid 145.00 USD for it. They
: appraised it for $400.00 USD. It is 14K gold
: plated and looks great. The only thing is
: that the leather strap isn't that great. It
: is in good shape but is not an Omega strap.
: This watch takes a 22mm strap and those are
: hard to come by.

By the way, they charged $60.00 per watch for the apraisals. I think I came out okay!
