Womens Seamaster

smithrjd · Apr 21, 2012

I was thinking of getting my Daughter a graduation present. Found a mid 70's Omega Seamaster for under $200. Caliber 684 Automatic, 766.0818 in running condition with some wear. 20 Micron Gold plated with some wear on the band. Original signed band and crown. I know womens watches do not bring a lot. Think this one is OK? I would assume that it will need a service.

You'd really need to post some photos to have the guys here give an accurate assessment. Hope it works out.

Pictures would help.. Wondering if this vintage is a good movement.

Its as good as its last servicing most likely, which could have been a very long time ago.

Yes, and a service would be around $250. I have given my son many watches but none to the daughter. The only one she uses is one of the Garmin runners watches. All said and done I don't think that watch would have the value after service and perhaps a replate on the band.

Look at some of the nicer 1980s and 1990s Quartz models, there are some good ones.

I'll second Ashley's recommendation. I've seen lots of very nice lady's Omegas from that era for less than $300, some damn near new. If Windy wore yellow gold I would have bought her one a long time ago.
