HELP!! IS THIS REAL?!

Hi. I am new to the forum and my first post so forgive me if i fluff it. Can you assist me with this Omega find. The reason i am suspicious is because i haven't seen very many with the luminous hour indicators. What should i expect to sell it for if its real? Thank you in advance

Hi mate, welcome on board.

It is difficult to give a decent estimate, as it has been redialed and relumed, making it less attractive to "serious" collectors. If I was you and wanting to sell it on, I would put on eBay with no reserve. I am sure it will attract a number of bids if you just make sure to take a lot of good photographs and spend an hour or so setting up a decent advert with details such as dimensions, reference number (F6231 - 1), case material, movement type and overall condition. Remember to state that the dial print and lume has been replaced.

Thank you. That's really helpful

You can also mention the watch was made in 1952, it is surprising how few people bother to take a look at the serial numbers list!

i would definitely suggest the same thing as ConElPueblo he know what he is talking about

He certainly knows how to write a wonderful sales pitch when he’s moving watches. Always enjoy reading his sales posts lol

Also mention that The movement is an automatic bumper type.

these were early automatics, but the rotor did not travel a full 360 degrees, it would “bump” between 2 springs

edit - i think the OXO mark on the movement is the import mark for USA

I have a watch with that signature on the movement, too. What I've found:
"OXG is a US import mark assigned to Norman Morris Co.
From NY Times, 1997:
Norman M. Morris, an entrepreneur and philanthropist, died on Monday at his home in Harrison, N.Y. He was 99.
Born in Austria-Hungary, he was brought to New York at the age of 3. He got his start in the watch business as a delivery boy for an importer at 15 and went to school at night. By the time he turned 25, he had opened his own company and then spent his career dealing in high-market watches.

By 1933 he had become the country's sole distributor of Omega watches from Switzerland and later brought other prestigious brands, like Tissot and Audemars Piguet, into the American market. He was an early promoter of pink gold, an alloy of copper and gold used in the watch industry. It became popular with the Art Deco styles of the 1920's and 1930's and remains in fashion today.

Mr. Morris became active early as a philanthropist. He was a founder and Norman Morris, Watch Seller And Foundation President, past president of the Jewelers Security Alliance and a past president of the Jewelry Industry Council, a trade organization.
Through those groups, he worked to promote the charitable activities of jewelry, watch and diamond dealers. He established the Norman M. Morris Foundation Inc. in 1947. Now with headquarters in White Plains, it became his main concern in 1980 when he sold his Omega distributorship back to the watchmakers in Bienne, Switzerland, turned Norman M. Morris Corporation into a diversified holding company and retired from business. As president of the foundation, Mr. Morris investigated every charity to which he contributed and signed every check for his donations, said his son, Robert E. Morris, the foundation's secretary-treasurer. He said his father usually gave to more than 200 charities each year. According to its report for 1994, the most recent available, the foundation was worth $7.7 million and paid out $434,000.

The grants ranged from $200,000 for the White Plains Hospital Center to gifts of $50 to smaller beneficiaries. The hospital's ambulatory surgery wing carries Mr. Morris's name. The pediatric floor of the Hospital for Joint Diseases was named for him. Among his other favored institutions were Mount Sinai Medical Center, the National Conference of Christians and Jews and UJA-Federation. He was a longtime supporter of the Hebrew Home for the Aged at Riverdale. Adele Groden Morris, his wife of 61 years, died in 1989. In addition to his son, of Greenwich, Conn., Mr. Morris is survived by a daughter, Arline Lubin, also of Greenwich; a brother, Edward, of Great Neck, N.Y.; 8 grandchildren, and 11 great-grandchildren."
