My wife is thinking about selling a bling Omega that she inherited a few years ago and so is just going to take it to some local jewellers. Is there anything better she could do? Auctions, specialists sites, bike forums?

You could post a stealth ad on the main forum to generate interest

Might be worth speaking to Blowers Watches of Hull
They specialize in that kind of watch

If it's complete with box & papers worth considerably more, I wouldn't bother with any of these skanky watch / pawn shops that have sprung in many city centres.

I don't really think it is stealth ad material. It is really quite bling which is why I am a little bit scared of just taking it to a local jewellers. Of course I have some really nice condition 26" frames..... 😀

Watchfinder looks like it could be perfect (commission dependant). Thanks

On the basis of the one valuation she already received, quite possibly, although I believe they run the ethical coffee shop next door.

At auction you'll be looking at a 15-25% sellers premium, and the buyer will also be looking at paying a similar premium , each +VAT, so you won't get near it's true value...

Which model ? Roughly how old? Depending on what it is, I know a quite a few watch enthusiasts, with at least one looking for a women's omega. Pm if I can help.
