    I have narrowed this watch down to around 1950....but I need more info about the caliber and case. The movement is a 361 manual wind caliber movement. The movement number is 12731668.

    The case number is 2539-2 and is Stainless Steel.

    Does everything add up to this being authentic based on serial numbers? What kind of value would this watch be at? Thanks!

    Pictures would be most helpful. The the 2539 does not show up in Omega's data base, which does not mean anything.

    Yes that is all very real and authentic. Looks like it might clean up very nicely too.

    Does the dial and hands seem to be original? The 6 looks a little funny to me with the subdial cutting it off......is this correct?

    Dial definitely original. Hands I suspect are probably original as well.

    What would be a good price if I were to purchase this watch? Knowing that the hairspring is shot......and the crown is missing.
