·Hi folks,
I purchased a 1950s Omega bumper automatic from a trusted dealer yesterday. He said that he didn't have a tonne of history on the watch, but had been part of his collection for 20 years, and so I'm looking to try identify the reference number (without having to take the back off). Spent hours looking for it and found a bunch of Omega's from the 50's that looked very similar in the 2xxx reference number range, which I `think` is the 1950's reference set 2,000,000-2,999,999 but they used the 4 and 5 digit method back then.
These are the things i know so far:
- 1950s Omega Bumper Automatic
- 14k Gold filled
- Claims to be on the rarer side given the date on it
- Strap is just a cheapy but will look to replace with something nicer
Photos included.
