I will be posting pics of a stainless steel watch i bought off ebay. My 1st Omega and i bought it for many reasons and one being Birks. The serial # seems to match with the 1930s era. Does anyone have any history or can guide me in the right direction. The watch was well taken care of but sadly a jeweller i know said it's not worth much.

Don’t know for certain that the dial has been repainted, but the mis-matched hands tell me one (or both) are not original to the watch. Henry Birks & Sons now Birks) was a Canadian firm, founded in Montreal. Birks is still around, but the Birks family is no longer in the picture. Ellis was a Toronto based jeweller that Birks bought out (see attached). I would estimate the date as being mid-1930s. It looks to be in decent shape for a watch that is about 85 years old. Don’t pay too much attention to what others say the watch is worth (to them). I think there is added value because there is a bit of history right there on the dial. Birks and/or Ellis were likely Omega dealers. Watch companies such as Rolex, Omega (and others) would print the retailer’s name on a dial for a fee.

The Birks Ellis lettering was circa the 1930s or so. Birks used to put there name on various watches, including there own brand, which i am
sure you already know. Ellis was a major jewellery firm in Toronto and joined forces with Birks and Ryrie and the three of them were
in business together for a while.

The logo of Birks could be tracked for images I would guess. I not sure when Birks started to put their name on watch dials. But as Francois mentioned, the dial is probably reprinted or touched up. Francois has helped me quite a bit with my research into my Omega.

Ellis logo or lettering may also be researched for what it might have looked like in the 1930s.

Perhaps you could contact someone at the Birks Phillips Square main office for some help in your research. They probably have a record of old catalogues you may look thru.

The OMEGA logo doesn't look right either. It might be hard to find another reference dial to compare to but others in the Omega Forum I am sure may be able to help you. The serial number as you mentioned is in the mid-1930s which is right.

I used to work at Birks Head-office at Phillips Square in Montreal in the 1980s.

I agree with @François Pépin this is likely a reprinted dial, maybe even by Birks. As per @Canuck, the history of Birks has a few twists and turns, and this is an uncommon dial type. I have a few pieces with the Birks logo, mostly Eterna, but I do have one WWII era Omega. Note the type and style of the logo.
There are precious few Omega-Birks pieces out there, so not sure about the value of them. I really like the idea of collecting watches from a home grown Canadian Jeweler.

And here are another couple of Birks pieces from around the same time period. Note the consistency of the Birks logo .

Thank you and i might just go down to see if they can provide me with some information. I love this watch and i know it has some value to it. I plan to collect others. Thanks again for your help!

Great photo research from Cdn Watch doc.
I tried to parallel the two images, one is quite small. There is a slight different in the fonts styles of the two BIRKS fonts. Also fonts on OMEGA
are different.
The OMEGA LOGOS are also different.

Great comparison and link @sphinx77. I agree, the "Birks" looks very close to being the same. The Omega, not so much. I think this was a redial attempt. Now the challenge will be to find an original dial to replace it. This discussion does help me support the double logo Omega that I bought earlier this year. Another Birks piece with provendence:

I cannot comment the Birks fonts. But theOmega logo and script are wrong.
I confirm, the Omega logo and lettering are completely wrong. It is for sure a redial.
