·Hello,
I'd welcome help identifying the vintage and model of my grandfather's Omega watch. He lived from 1904-1982. I've searched through hundreds of photos of similar watches online, but have not been able to find this exact match. I suspect that it could be from the 1950s, when he was mayor of a city in upstate New York (1952-1954) . It's pretty scratched up, the face looks like it has some corrosion, and has not been serviced in decades, but the hands still operate when wound. Unfortunately, I don't know how to open the case to offer more photos.
On the back of the case, there is an engraving -- a star, followed by the words "14k GOLD FILLED."
My grandmother gave me the watch when I graduated high school in 1982, shortly after my grandfather died.
Thanks for any advice!
