Hi Guys This is my first time here with my first Omega, purchased recently. The pic is bad but this is a gold capped 2849 with a 503 movement. Can anyone see if this is a redial? Rgds Jerry
Thanks! i also got this one (not sure what it is but it works) plus a square De Ville - for the equivalent of $ 200-00
Regarding the second, pop the caseback off the old boy, there may be a notch by the springbar, they usually pop off easily and let's see what you have got. The condition doesn't look promising for any value that I am aware of, let's see if the movement or caseback tells us any different. Any pix of the square De Ville?
I agree with UncleBuck, if anything the value of the 2nd one is in the movement + some change for the case. Dial looks original but beat up, probably from the 30s.
Thanks for the speedy replies guys The one pictured has a dust cover so I will need a watchmaker to remove it so that I can see what movement is there - I will get that done this weekend The De Ville is a 161.014, running a 671 movement. I will posts some pix
Is there any chances of finding a crystal for it? I was thinking of just having it serviced, new crystal fitted and using it as is
