·I recently bought a lot of old pocket watches to use as practice material for my new watchmaking hobby and I was surprised to find an old beaten-up Omega between them. The sticker on the back of the encasing reads "Watch of Uncle Géry, killed at the front in May 1918 and found on his body". The serial number on the movement is 4022659, so I guess it could be dated somewhere between 1910 and 1914 because the war started than.
The movement of the watch is in surprisingly good condition, giving its age. Except for the balance wheel: that is bent and the balance spring is broken. I would like to get the movement back in working order, but I'm unable to find replacement parts for it without knowing what the calibre is. I would also like to know what the 1 2 G stamps mean...
