    Guys,

    I have just seen this 'vintage' Omega watch for sale, it looks like a special one, but as I'm an Omega-noobie it's probably just some fake..

    The info I got:
    Omega Skeleton Pocketwatch
    'N2009861' Omega from 1905
    Silver 0.800 with N3559877
    Diameter is 50mm,
    Width is 22mm.

    'Very good condition, very good handwork, goldfill..'

    If this is a full original watch, I'd be very interested to buy :) In that case.. what would be a good price?

    Here are the pics!

    This is effectively a fake. Search for Ukrainian in this forum and you will get more info.

    Unfortunately if you are selling most old pocket watches our Ukrainian friends are usually amongst the highest bidders.

    Let me know if this hint is too subtle...
