Hi all -

I bought this watch in an antique store about 22 years ago. I've had it serviced and I wear it on occasion.

I was told that it is a transition piece, when pocket watches were falling out of favor and wristwatches were coming in.

Note that the crown is on the top.

Note also that I have added 14k yellow lugs so that I can wear the watch with wider width watch bands. I am a goldsmith and constructed and installed the rectangular lugs so that I would not alter the watch permanently. The small tubular lugs are part of the original watch.

Can anyone tell me more about this watch?

Thank you

 

Old omega pocket watch as you know and not much else as it is a redial probably done many many years ago. Case number might tell if it is a Omega case but some numbers look upside down

 

How can you tell it is a redial?

 

The look at the print on the dial, mainly the sub dial numbers.
