    An office mate found this Omega in the estate of a family member. He would like to know more in terms of year and market value. He described the caseback as screw on type with 14K markings.

    Update: Ok, I must confess. After taking this thing to a local jewelry store and verifying its gold value, I offered a fraction of the melt value to the owner and kept the watch. :) The watch is now on the hands of a newly found watchmaker for a full service, light buff and clean job. A new leather strap to fit a lady's tiny wrist is also on order. I think this will be a great piece to place in a Christmas stocking. :) A wrist shot will follow after Christmas! ;-)
