Hi Forum,
I was looking for any information I can get about this watch. From the case number its a 1939 watch and from the movement number its a 1937/38 manufacture. I bought it 30 years ago and It has lain in a drawer for all of that time. The winder is tight so I know it needs a service to release that. It is worth fixing can anyone tell me. I have searched high and low for other images of watches with this unusal lug design but have not been able to find anything. Is is possible a fake?

regards
Kenk

use the serial number on the movement to date manufacture of the movement.

service it if you are planning on wearing it, otherwise, not.

Value stays the same either way, low.

Looks to me like the case is a figment of someone’s imagination. The dial is a bad refinish job. Movement is Omega, but in that case with that dial, it would only be useful as a donor.

Not worth fixing, but someone might want the movement for parts.

It looks like a women's Omega from the thirties, case looks ok to me. Meant to be worn on a wowen bracelet and not on a flat leather band.

Thats what I have, a black woven bracelet. Are the lugs genuine Omega or an added folly.
