·Hi!
I have recently bought a vintage 18ct gold Omega watch for my husband's birthday.
I know nothing about vintage watches, I had a "coup de coeur", negociated the price a bit (!) and bought it.
After that, I began to search for some more information about it.
The watch sounds rather antique, at first glance, I would have said from the 40s, possibly the late 30s, but considering its gorgeous condition, I began to believe it was from de 50s or even 60s with a 40s look.
The seller - an antique dealer, is a vintage watches lover, but - in my opinion - not a real expert. He mentioned on the invoice that it was a Geneve model, but, after having done some research, I am almost certain it is a mistake.
The only similar watch I have found on the net, is here, https://thewatchcollector.co.uk/products/omega-rare-fab-suisse-cal-28-18ct-rose-gold/ ( with different hands, though...)
I was wondering if someone could help in identifying this watch…? On the site mentioned above, it is said circa 1944 ( which corroborates my feelings), cal 28, BUT I wonder what "10 million series" means?
I know I should have the watch open to get some more informations, especially the serial number, but I do not want to do it by myself, and I am currently in a kind of remote location with no professional to do it for me!
I cannot believe it is a fake or anything like that. It is such a gorgeous, good looking and obviously high quality watch! It gives the time for 48 hours at perfection ( so far)...
So, if I may ask, any kind of further information(s) would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much to all!
