Help Identifying Antique Pocket Watch

The rose gold trim on the coin silver (.800 fine) Swiss made case is called a GALLONE finish. The only definition I have found for gallone is “twisted gold braid used as trim on uniforms (military?)”. It is usually found only on Swiss made silver cases from the late 19th and early 20 th centuries. Probably gold electroplated. The “G” inside the case back? No idea. The missing red numbers on the dial? That dial is vitreous enamel, and the numerals and minute track are black vitreous enamel. The black enamel characters etc. are permanent. In times past, after-market paper overlays were available to convert a 12-hour dial to 24-hour. Those would have been applied years or decades later, and are not permanent. Identification? Omega would be my guess, but you don’t need any help there. You’ve covered about everything else very well. Price? Is 300 to 500 the amount you paid? Is so, it is too late for any regrets, there. The watch is apparently in excellent condition, and (in my opinion), the case, dial, and hands are all original. I have one watch (an 18-size Elgin B W Raymond with those hands.

But it seems you may have known all that. Or just another “drive by”!

This thread was opened on March 23. I replied a day or so later, giving the information I had, including the description of Gallone. It seems this post was a “drive by” as there has been no response from the individual who had the question.
