Hi everyone, I bought this lovely little Omega on eBay and was wondering if its authentic and the history behind it. Any info would be great Its manual wind and claims to be goldcapped. Look forward to hearing from you, thanks

 

Though no expert on watches, the movement dates from the 1920's. Omega's "gold capped" process started later (1940's). The crown also looks too large for the size of the watch. Maybe others can enlighten.

 

Thanks mate

 

Please see my post on the same thread that you also started on ‘Vintage Watches’!
