·Hi All - I'm looking for information about an Omega watch that belonged to my father. I've been holding on to it since he passed a decade ago. The watch is engraved on the back with his initials and the date 6/28/48, which makes me guess it was a high school graduation present. He came from a modest family and I believe it was a practical gift for a young man heading out into the world.
From what I can tell from looking at pictures online, it might be vintage Omega bumper, possibly model 2438-5 with 28.10 RA movement. I got that info. from this listing:

I wound the dial today and found that the watch keeps perfect time. It could use a cleaning. Does anyone have a ballpark valuation?
Thank you for any info. you might have.
