What you need to do is take it to a local watch expert or appriaser and find out the value of what you have.

Just because it is older than you expected does not necesarily mean it is worth less. It might actually be worth MORE as a more vintage, classic model.

Also, make SURE that the serial number you had Omega look up is the correct one. Even one digit wrong might have referenced a coincidentally similar model from a different era.

Mechanical watches of any age stop if not sufficiently wound--yours might be a manual wind which MUST be hand wound daily to run. Not all watches are automatic!

Again, before you do anything, you need a local watch expert to look at it and tell you what you really have. The worst thing you can do is react based on insufficient information!
