Funny how things often times all comes at the same time. I've bought and sold stuff for a long time. It's how I get money for cars, watches, motorcycles etc without my wife ever saying a word.

Anyway, I heard a local dealer in antiques was going out of business and I thought I would stop by his place today. There on the wall is an Omega dealer clock. The Chancellor Hotel was a local hotel built in 1901 and torn down in 1977. Buttermore's was a jewelers across the street that I understand had a small boutique store in the hotel. It was one of the big grand hotels common in many downtowns.

There was a walkway under the street that they would carry the jewelry from one store to the other. Anyway, I decided I needed it. It lights up and works great. I'm guessing 1960's.

 

looks like an original dial to me

 

But the minute hand extends just past the end of the markers - might be too long.

 

crap, this is definitely a tough business to learn...I will never get it right.

 

Bezel could do with a refinish........

 

bad script. there should not be a period after Bldg

 

Crystals in great shape......

 

Do you want to sell it

 

Of course you would , the watch is nice

 

Well..........I sold it to a local history collector. The money will go into my fund for another watch.

 

Ahh ok tnx anyway !

 

Yes, but I'm sort of glad it's staying local and will be on display to the public. The collector said he knew nothing about Omega but was just buying it as he knows the Buttermore's and the Chancellor tie in.
