·Please help me identify this vintage Omega watch.
My grandfather sold and repaired watches in my grandparent's jewellery store that started in 1929 (yes!) and closed in 1968. This one has a little chip in the crystal, so I'm wondering if that is why it didn't sell, and he just never got around to replacing the crystal. Now that my parents have passed, this watch came to me.
I see similar pictures of watches around the 1940s, but nothing that is an exact match. The Arabic numerals in black, the single square line for minute markings, but especially the gold bars that cover the band attachments. Perhaps the box will help, which I assume is original.
It is not running, so I'll need help to know what I need to know to have it professionally cleaned and see if that is enough to get it working again.
Will the crystal need to be replaced, if I ever consider selling it?
Any ball-park estimate for the watch with original band and box?
Thanks for any information!
