    1950 Omega Bumper Help Verifying

    Another thing I was curious about with this watch... Is it common for the crown to not have the omega symbol in this time period? I've read mixed things online on if omega was putting the symbol on them at the time or not. It seems like a grey area, but thought someone here might know.

    Help on Potential Vintage Omega Watch Purchase

    @Dan S Thank you for the information! How can you tell the dial is repainted? I'm new to looking into Omega vintage watches so any information would be appreciated. Yeah, I agree.
