Hello, I know it's between a 1954-1956 constellation 18k including bracelet. My grandfather left it to me it's in perfect working condition and I was wondering on the value. Plus I don't feel comfortable taking it to a shop.Thanks  |

Just for the head, around $1500-2000. The braclet would be valued on its own at the price of gold. |

Does this piece have any collector value? Its in excellent shape. Do you know any reputable shops in the Bay area so I can have them open it for me. Thanks |

I forgot to give you thanks for the response, that's cool you guys are doing this stuff.One more thing I wanted to ask if you have sold watches in the same year and shape as this one and would definitely appreciate any help on finding a reputable shop. Thanks |

I'm in Alameda, about 20 miles away from you. Why are you wanting to open the watch if it is running perfectly and you have no desire to sell it? Curiosity? Pictures? It would take me about 5 seconds to remove the back for you if that's all you want done. I specialize in 50s/60s Omega & JLC, so I know your Constellation model like the back of my hand. |

HI Greg, The watch is in amazing shape and does run perfectly thats why I have not bothered to open it. However I'm so curios about the exact year and movement and was told I would have to open it to see the info inside.All I have now are suspicions of the year and rough research. Any info you can give me would be greatly appreciated. You guys rock thanks a bunch. What is your business address I would like to visit. Thanks Gabe |
