Hi everybody,

I'm starting my Omega collection and I would not like to go in the wrong direction, so I'd like to ask for help.

Can anybody identify this Omega watch?
All I know about it, other than visible on photos provided, is that movement is automatic.
My guess is the 40's, maybe military...

Thanks in advance!!

 

https://omegaforums.net/threads/vintage-omega-posting-guide.383/ Pay particular attention to point #1.

 

Why would this be military?

 

The face has "military look" but as I said, I'm new in this field...

 

Sorry, I do not have any pics of the inside of the watch right now...

 

All the information you need is inside. Without it, it's just a guess.

 

Thanks, I will post it when I get the watch. So far I need o decide asap if I'm buying, and that's all I have...
Can you, please, tell me at least if the dial is original or redone?

 

That's not true. We can still tell a bit about the watch from the outside. Of course the inside will tell us more, but I've seen enough to know that I'd pass on this watch. Why bother the seller for photos of the inside caseback? It's a waste of everyone's time.

The pictures aren't great, but for starters, the case has been pretty heavily polished and appears unevenly so. It also appears to be a redial, given the unevenness of the minute markers and the thin font. Lastly, the hands don't match the dial style.

 

Thanks for your opinion.

Can you answer the OP's questions from those photos? The answer is a resounding "No!", not for sure, anyway. You didn't address whether it's an automatic. Is it? Can you tell?

 

Thanks again, guys! I'd appreciate any opinion which could help me make the decision...
Once it's in my hands I'll be able to post more pics.

 

Here is a fun analogy for you, @efauser

Someone brings you a pile of dog crap and asks you to identify which dog it came from and what year it likely was made. Would you ask him to send it into the lab to get tested or would you just say walk away?

So I'm telling the OP that if I were him, I'd walk away.

 

Here are some more detailed photos. Unfortunately, not of the interior...

I might be wrong, but it does not look heavily polished to me. Also, I can't see any problem with the dial ... but that's why I'm here looking for help.

 

Why starting a collection with a watch you do not know?
Why starting a collection before informing yourself and before knowing just the basics
Why starting a collection with a dealer/seller who does not provide the information necessary

There are a lot of questions open.
