    It depends on a few things. Who would want it, what is the weight of the silver. It is modern with an average movement. You might get £40.

    You have opened the box and made a nice job.

    You say value. Do you mean how much it would cost if buying new. Or do you mean does it have any value if you wanted to sell it.

    It certainly had a case tube.

    You should be able to push the button in to set it. Sometimes dirt gets into the button and prevents this, make sure all the muck inside the button has been removed. It can pack in really hard.

    Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. A nice watch, I like the dial it is clear and easy to read. The colour of the strap goes well with the watch. Your wife has good taste.

    No razors for me. I have had a beard for over 40 years. Took me about 3 weeks to grow a full beard. Started out black and its now grey. I do have it trimmed regular, to keep it tidy now I am older which is something I never did. I used to look like a tramp, so I was told and would just laugh. I used to hate shaving years ago so took the easy way out. My photo was taken a long time ago must be around 30 years when I was teaching I T in Dorchester.

    You are lucky it was just tap water. Salt water and you would have been in real trouble. It would be best to clean it again to be on the safe side. Omega’s as you know are expensive so care needs to be taken.

    What is it that you want to know about cuckoo clocks. Is it the movements.
