·Why don't you just wait until you have something worthwhile to post, then post lots of good photos and all the information you have, so the experts can take a good look and give you answers. Otherwise, people may take a quick look at a picture of a tag and move on.

·In the meantime, you can read this, which describes the stainless version of the watch corresponding to that tag (which would be gold-capped over stainless). The dial may not be exactly the same as the photo on the page, since there are many dial/hand variants for a given reference. Obviously, we can't say if the tag and watch even go together without seeing photos of the watch.

·The first line means "Center seconds"in French, 28mm movement. KO2849AP defines the watch, and is usually called the case number. The last is likely the serial number of the watch.
KO means gold capped.
Probably looks close to this, except in gold. https://www.omegawatches.com/en-us/watch-omega-seamaster-calendar-ck-2849
Too late at night and I am loopy, now I see that Dan shared similar.
KO means gold capped.

·Thanks for taking the time to provide the link. I wasn’t trying to be dumb and clueless—I am actually a rather self sufficient human at most times. I can verify that it is an omega from just looking at it and reading the face. It’s possible that it’s not authentic….but I don’t think that is the case.
Apologies if you were offended, I wasn't making any comments on your competence or suggesting that the watch might be fake. We just can't say that the tag actually refers to that particular watch without photos. We see this type of thing all the time, where someone has an old watch and some old accessories/papers, and assumes they go together because they were found in the same place. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. But either way, photos of the watch, inside and out, will permit not only identification, but information about the originality of the watch's components, its condition, approximate value if you're interested, etc.

That's actually a good advice- ask your watchmaker to take pictures of the movement, the inside of the Caseback, etc.
