·Hi Everyone!
I’ve just registered but I have been scouring these boards for information for a while, trying to find some information about a new but old purchase; but let me start with a bit of an introduction first:
I’m a mechanically biased engineer living and working in the UK. Obviously I am a fan of omega and do keep feeding my obsession which started back in 2011 with a Diver 300M (just before they moved to the plain dial over the ‘wavy’ one). Since then the stable has grown and I keep adding a new modular element to my watch winder set up.
I’ve always been interested in Pocket watches and was recently in a position to purchased one from a well known auction site. I have been (rather Obsessively) trying to decode the various marks etc on the movement and case but I’ve hit a stumbling block so thought I’d turn to the collective wisdom of the forum and ask you all.
This is an image of the offending marks
Further details:
Movement Serial Number: 5396333 (which I believe dates it between 1915 and 1923) oh and it is a ‘C’ Grade movement.
Case Serial Number: 6045069 (which I believe dates it between 1918 and 1923)
The case is marked with the Grouse denoting 0.800 silver but also has the assay mark for Germany though this was stamped with a G below which I understand means it was assayed in Geneva.
I have the original (I believe) box from the Wartchmaker and seller in Stockholm.
I’ll post other pictures when I get a chance. It still keeps perfect time and is actually as accurate (or slightly more so) as my Seamaster Diver 300m
Thanks for looking ans feel free to ask me any questions - I’m still finding my feet here!
