    Hello Everyone! I am looking to possible purchase my first Omega Pocket watch. I found this one and I was hoping someone might be able to tell me if this looks like good to you. It is stated that the serial number on the movement places the date of its production was from 1916. The Serial number is #5.013.520. I have added some photos. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you and have a nice day,
    Curly

    1916 seems about the right vintage for that movement based on the chart below.

    You'd need to look at the case number, which should be inside the outer cover. It should be in the mid-to-high 5 million range, but not be the same as the movement serial number. I don't know the movement caliber, but I'm sure others here on the forum do.

    The pattern on the dial is unusual. Looks like a nice honest WWI vintage Omega pocketwatch.

    Enjoy,
