    Hi, just wanted to share with you this 26.5 SOB with an unusual case :

    Its serial number dates it from around 1929. I haven't found any Watch with such a case in my vintage catalogs. The case is signed and I am convinced that it is original from Omega. I also have a case of the same design with a serial number that is very close (separated by less than 100 units), which I found from a different source and some years later, so I suppose it is not a custom modified model.
    Has anyone already seen this model elsewhere and/or have any information?
    Thanks for your help,

    What a really lovely dial. And a very good choice of strap, too.

    Hope I look as good if I make it into my eighties ;)

    I don't know anything about it - but the mid case and lug style are screaming USA market to me.
