Hi, if possible can anyone tell me the history of this Omega watch with a Porsche emblem. According to the serial number it is from 1947 or there abouts. I find this watch unusual because the Porsche company didn't start mass producing their first car, the 356 until 1948. So, this watch could be one of the first Porsche watches ever made? I am not sure though. I found this watch in Buenos Aires Argentina. Any information is welcomed and greatly appreciated. Regards, J.V.

Sorry, it's just a made up watch. Someone has very crudely refinished the dial to include the Porsche logo.

They put Swiss Made on the dial because it would be too hard to put…

Now, if someone is more of a Porsche person than a watch person it may be worth buying if cheap enough.

The other tip of is that the Porsche logo on that dial with the V shaped lower part of the shield didn’t exist until 1963, in 1947 the badge was a simple all yellow shield with a rounded bottom and a black horse with no red at all.
