    For those that followed the auction the bracelet will be a giveaway. But for those that didn’t, can you guess the brand from the below photo?
    And does anyone know what the symbol is or represents?

    The depth of field on your camera has focussed nicely on your hand. But the symbol on the crown is indistinct.

    I can’t make it that easy :)
    The photo is from the auction house and watch is not in my hand yet so this is the best I have.
    The case provides a clue.

    Not a Rodania or a Titus.

    I will give a clue. The case was used by Omega, but this watch is not an Omega. The patent for the case was licensed I believe.

    Ahhh, the riddle of steel. What is stronger, the watch or the flesh that wears it?

    That band may be nick-named "the wrist slicer."

    The word "nick" has an intended double meaning as used above. ;-)

    Yes that’s correct, it’s the case used for the omega marine standard.
    Here is mine and then one from the Internet.
