Hi There - I am a newly joined member and I wish to make a post about my vintage Omega (picture attached), asking for information..........but at the bottom of the post page there is a message saying I have insufficient priveleges to do so. What do I need to do?

Not sure what you attempted and what privileges you might be missing, but obviously you have been able to create a new thread and place a post, what do you need more?

 

Thanks for your replies. I am just trying to find what model it is. My father brought it back from Paris at the end of the war in 1945. He had been stationed there as a liaison officer.

The serial number is 10294682. Omega want to charge me £120 for the info!

 

Welcome to the Forum. We all here wish you a great stay and full gain of information

 

Hi John. That's a sweet little tank that fits perfectly with the date you've mentioned. They came in 10k gold filled and 9 and 18k solid gold housing a cal 17/8. All the information to identify if fully will be on the inside of the caseback and you can usually take these off with nothing more than your thumbnail. Post a photo of the back with any numbers, stamps etc and someone will be happy to fill you in.

Is there something specific that you are looking to find out?

 

Hello John. It's a great forum. They are a nice bunch and you are in the right place.
Give them something to go on and you will find a wealth of practical knowlege and sound advice.
They are very helpful and will take the time to help with a genuine enquiry.
A good start would be to take some really well defined photographs from different angles and add them to this thread
with as much info as you have about the watch.

 

And move this thread to the Vintage Omega board.

 

Never let it be said the charitable members here ignore the underprivileged. Sorry, I had to. Welcome.

 

Here are two more pics. The numbers are clear;y visible on the inside rear cover and on the movement.
Any information would be gratefully received!
