Hey guys. I am brand new to vintage watches and was hoping someone could point me in right direction.
My grandfather had owned a watch repair shop back in the 50's and when he passed away I was given a pile of boxes of stuff from his old shop. I had found this Omega oyster mechanism with the face on it but no case. First question is any idea the ear and type it is ? Second question is anyidea where to look to maybe find a case for it

I'm not recognizing that as an Omega movement at first glance. Can you post a straight-down photo showing the entire movement?

Sorry the 2nd and 3rd pic were from a Tudor watch. I will post pics of the Omega back once I get home.

The dial appears to be from a WWW "dirty dozen" reference. It's a bit hard to tell if it's totally original from that photo, but it might be.

Definitely not the same watch...Omega is sub seconds and the second has central seconds (with a bunch of parts missing)...

Ok cool. Yes I did correct myself after I noticed I had uploaded the 2 wrong photos. It's been in a box with about a hundred others watch pieces for about 70 yrs.

WW2 omega military watch. Correct dial and hands. Somebody applied a layer of high gloss lacquer to the dial......destroying the value in the process. Finding a correct case ? Good luck with that. Kind regards. Achim
