Hi. I have found this silver cased Omega on fle market. There is only a few information on the Inthernet about it.

I found out this watch was from 1931 and had cal. 23.7 T2 inside. (There is a mark under balance wheel) Can someone tell me if case should have dust cover? I saw something like that in some photos.

I dont know anything about crown. Is it correct? And last but not least I need to know if this watch is worth to be serviced. At this moment the watch is working but only when I put it upside down. I'm thinking about full restoration.

1. There looks to have been a dust cover on this watch at one time. The hinge is there, but you can see where the cover has been broken off:



2. This was most likely a man’s watch, not a ladies’ watch. Men’s watches were just smaller then.

3. Crown is not correct. The original would have been much thinner and made from silver to match the case. It would not have been signed though.

4. My guess is that this watch will need extensive work on the movement, dial and case to be considered restored. This will cost several times its current value. It would need to be a labor of love only.

Hope this helps,
