Are these worth anything?

    Hiya

    A relative if mine has inherited some stuff and I'm just wondering if it is worth bringing the following for valuation? And idea?

    The omega would be worth something. Its value will depend on the condition of its insides. Given that the case is looking rough I doubt the insides will be in good nick.

    The last watch looks like the oldest one. From the 1920s perhaps. It looks like a jewlers watch where they bought a movement and put it in one of their own cases. It is also in bad nick and its value will be driven by who made the movement. Hopefully it is one of the quality makers.

    I don't recognise the first watch and have not googled it. But I do like the look of it from a personal point of view and would buy something like that if in good working order. Not mad about the strsp!

    Of course, if any of these watches are made from gold then that will dictate a much higher value purely for the gold. But from the pics I don't think you have gold there.
    If I was to guess I would optimistically put the combined value of these three watches at about 400. But that is optimistic as they all look in bad nick on the outside and likely the same on the inside. This limits their value as they will need a full service and case clean which will cost as much as they are worth.

    The last one looks hallmarked on the caseback so may well be gold

    The fact they are ladies watches instantly diminishes their value, as not many ladies spend their evenings trawling ebay etc for watches.....
