Hey guys need help in indentifying this watch, is it fake? Seller says he bought in in an antique shop in Europe 20 years ago he was told its from the early 1900's. Any thoughts and value?

Thanks,

Senossy

It’s so fake, I want you to send it to me. I’ll even pay the postage.

I think it is a very early Omega wristwatch. 1920’s or older. If pictures were clearer, we could see the serial numbers on the case and movement and get a better idea of the production date.

I'd buy it for $250!
13'''S movement from 1910-1915, fairly clean, silver markings on case, minimal dial damage. I like it.

Balance staff area looks rough, does it run?

These don't go for big $ unless special but I think $250 US is fair.

Yeah it's runs, so 250$ is fair? These roughly go for $300 to $500? Is that a good estimate?

I think so, check out the sold listings on ebay for "Omega trench watch" and you'll get a good idea.

Hi,
Looks good to me, except maybe the lugs that are larger than usual on this model (They may have been replaced -later?- to allow for a larger strap than the 12mm one), maybe the minute hand and the crown.
See for example here in the 1917 catalog :

or here in a period advertising :

One of mines says hello :

Such a nice watch. If the condition of the dial was bothering you, enamel just doesn't age.
