Hi all. Thank you in advance for your help and for letting me be part of this forum. I inherited from my grandfather an 18K rose gold Omega, and looking for information I am confused, since he has died and I do not have the history of the clock. As you can see, there are these data: on the cover has the number 10,813,371 2319 (115-18k- 0,750) and listed several repairs (years 1955-71-74-77-88-90) then wrote "H969" . 750 stamped on the side of one of the legs. In the mechanism it says number 11.315.781, 15 jewels and T2 (I suppose 30T2) and a recording in a surrounding ring that says "metal". The issue is that I can not find an image in the official catalog of Omega web, although it says it is from the international collection of 1943 and that it is made of steel. He measures 44mm with his arms or 37.5 without them. The rope does not have the logo.
Thanks again for any contribution you can make me to know more about him.

Omega vintage database is incomplete and often shows only one variation for a given reference.

Well thanks!! But is it a big jumbo? It is from the year 1943 (by the number on the cover and the official page) or 46 (by the number on the cover) or 48 (by the number of the mechanism)? I'm confused. It's a mix?

The serial number on the movement is used to date an Omega watch.

As @X350 XJR noted, the Omega database does not contain all variations of each model.

It shows that the model was introduced in 1943, and it may have been made for some years after that.

Your serial number on the movement dates the watch to between 1947 and 1953. Most movements would have been used in regular stainless steel models, with some being held for use in low production models (like gold, or special production).

Your 18 carat gold case was made for Omega by Manufacture Favre & Perret SA, La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland.

Cases may have been made at different times, and then shipped to Omega for assembly. When the watch and case are put together, that is the actual date of the watch. The only way to find out for certain is to obtain an Extract from the Archives from Omega.

Thank you very much to both of you for your time and explanation. Although unfortunately, I do not have the money to make that query to Omega, I bother you with one more question, you. Would you know what valuation does this watch have in the market today? Of course, and again, thank you very much !!

Value on a watch like that is dependent on the gold value of the case.

In running condition, maybe gold melt plus $150 to $200 for the movement.

Thank you for your comment "mac_omega", very constructive although you do not know me. I thought it would bring some help, but I see that you only have time to judge without knowing. Do you feel superior like that? Good luck and do not think more about me please, thank you.

Hi Atraviesan and welcome!
First I'm sorry about your grandfather death and happy about the watch you have inherited. An Omega 30T2 PC, one of the last T2s - production starts from 1940 till 1947.
At the case back you can see this number 2319, it indicates the reference of the watch. Till middle fifties Omega used in the gold cases back watches a number of seven or eight digits to identify, alone or with other four digits likes your watch -above your 2319-
Sadly dial is in bad condition but hands and crown look original to me. Better if a watchmaker makes a revision to the movement and changes the plexy.

Gold Omega's 30T2s - not Rgs- aren't as common as people's think and the value of the watch depends on the condition and rarity.

I'm also newbie in this foro, I have been in another during 9 years - more than 3xxx threads- and I've learnt many things looking for and listening and reading several opinions. Take a chance and when you ask for some question try to do your search first and respect all the opinions, it doesn't matter if aren't what you want to read.

P. S. 1 I beg your pardon about my english, it is not my language and I don't use google translator

P. S. 2 mac_omega is one of the most important connoisseur's about 30mm Omega's in the world. Don't forget it!

Regards

Dear Germanicus, it is a pleasure to meet people like you, to whom I am grateful for giving me your time, words and knowledge on the subject for which I asked for help. I tell him that, in addition to his watch, I inherited more important things from my grandfather, such as his gift of a good person. He always told me never to forget that no Title would ever make me have the gift of good people, or that any object could give me more right over another person.
Thanks again, and I also apologize for my English, since it is not my mother tongue either.
Being at your disposal for what you need, I greet you very attentively.
Adolf
