Lurker here, Found these two watches in the dollar bin at one of the local thrift stores, Both were running but the Omega has since stopped running.
Question on Balcoe, is this a store brand or related to the Balco Co. Notes Automatic Incabloc 17 Jewels Swiss. I only found noted on the web.

Is there a decent market on ebay to list the non running Omega for parts or repair?

Awesome $1 Omega. Definitely something that will have a great market on eBay. Be sure to mention it was running now stopped. Most buyers will know the parts are good and just needs a cleaning. You might also want to try manually winding it. The automatic rotor could be bad. The Balcoe is interesting but it's probably one of the many brands that were generic using Swiss movements
