·Hi everyone, I'm a new member here but I just found my great grandfather's Omega a few days ago. It's been sitting unworn for well over 20 years. I want to learn more about it since I am so new to vintage watches (I usually only buy new stuff).
Unfortunately I don't have a caseback opening tool to check the year and model. But I can feel it is a bumper movement and it is surprisingly running and keeping time well. I don't know when or if it has been serviced before. When I look online it seems to have the 2577 case? However very few models I've seen use this red seconds hand. I was told he probably purchased this watch around 1950 from another family member who owned a jewelry store in Canada from 1900-1958 and he had very good connections with Omega.
Edit- should've clarified I put it on this strap today, but I found it on a brown nato
