First post, so please bear with me. I'm not really sure what I have but this was my grandfathers, and the story is, he got it from his father when he returned from WWII. The only paperwork detail I have is an appraisal from Jewelry Store in 1999 that states:
"Gents 14K yellow gold Omega wristwatch. The watch is an Automatic Chronometer, Constellation with a white dial. The attached band is a 14k yellow gold 18mm wide mesh style with a folder over clasp."
I've been trying to research more on exactly what it is, but the time line doesn't work out. I believe he left the military in 1945 or 1946, and recently found the Constellations first were manufactured in 1952, so that threw me a curve ball. I have searched high and low for a photo of a similar watch to get some clues, and the closest I've got on the Omega website gallery is from 1954 which the same case, band, but it had the pie pan dial and a different clasp, with the logo on it. I think it's early to mid 50's now, but that's about as far as I've gotten.
So, I'm kind of stumped. Omega hasn't replied to my requests for further info, because I'm in the US? What's with that?
If anyone has any ideas to help me figure out this mystery, please let me know. TIA.
