Hello, I have a couple of old Omega watches and there is this particular one that I just can't identify! And I did my researches on so many sites! Anyone could help me out? It was bought in France probably between 1950 and 1970. It is a 18k gold watch, 4 little diamonds and swiss made. I think the bracelet might have been modified for I have memories of my grand-ma leaving the watch to the jewelry store to adapt the size. Thanks
I am way to afraid to break it and I have no tool to do so whatsoever. But thanks for your response. Even with the right tools, I'd have no idea how to open her...
Hello, and welcome to the forum! All of the information you would need to help you learn more about your watches is contained inside them. You will need to take your watches to a local watchmaker in your area, preferably one who is skilled in repairing vintage watches. The watchmaker has the specialist tools required to open your watches without scratching or damaging them. Inside each watch is a serial number that will help you date the year the watch movement was manufactured. If you intend to wear your watches, you should ask your watchmaker to service the watch. they will clean the watch movement, lubricate the many moving parts, and adjust the timing so that it is accurate. You have some lovely heirlooms that are worth a little love and attention, and in return you will have timepieces that will last your decades with some routine maintenance.
Hi again, so I went to the jewlery store to open the watches. I took some pictures and was hoping you might be able to give me more details (The man there said he worked with watches for over 50 years and never heard of a pie pan constellation : there was one in the lot. So I guess he couldnt have been of any true help regarding this one)
We would love to see the pie pan constellation. Which is in fact a very popular collected piece. ( your watchmaker needs to look more ) Looks like you have a 1950-60s model 10935 - this would have been released with several different dial types https://www.omegawatches.com/watch-omega-other-omega-ot-10935
One of your members is the new owner of the pie pan Thanks for the link! I was searching with the wrong numbers, obviously! Here she is:
Read below about the Saphettes. http://www.omegamuseum.com/lost-lines I bought my wife a 1970 automatic 18K Saphette, and she loves it.
Thanks : ) So let's say I wanted to keep her a couple of years before my daughter is old enough to wear it, should I do any specific actions (watchmaker?) or should I just get her back in her case?
Unless it's going to be worn immediately, there's no point in servicing it now. When you are ready to actually use it, then get it serviced. Cheers, Al
