Hi Gang - I am following this one closely. My plan is to buy it, fix it and have a gold Jumbo in the collection for a reasonable price. Do the hands and dial look original/untouched? Can the 4 mil movement be period correct? Case is certiantly polished Any other issues to consider? Thank you!

I don't really know much about that watch but did you notice the crack in the case on picture 7 near the lug? I have seen a few eastern European cased early Omegas and IWCs which where all correct/original without the Omega stamp inside the case back, but cased in eastern Europe and not the franken watches we see on eBay today sometimes. I think this was due to a gold import restriction during the 1930s-40s to eastern Europe, I'm sure someone on here knows more than me about that. Sorry I cannot help more but that crack needs investigation.
