·Hi. I've got this old Omega watch. I think it's a Frankenwatch. (pocket watch movement, unknown case, mystery dial)
Can someone identify it?

·Yes, I think it's fair to say that it's a Franken-watch. I'm not sure what "identify" would mean in this case.

·BTW, the movement size is only 33mm, maybe it is wrist watch movement

·Let's start with the dial... I didn't find any info online
Is your objective to identify each part? If so, I'd suggest disassembling it so that you can see every part from both sides, then you can start doing research. For example, you can measure the distance between the sub-dials, look for the positions of the original dial feet (probably removed now), etc. This could help you determine the original movement that went with that dial. Etc. TBH, I'm not sure I understand the point, but it's your watch.
PW movements came in many sizes, including some even smaller than this one for ladies' watches or pendant watches.

·It appears to be a re-purposed and repainted chronograph dial. There's no reason to think it started out as an Omega dial, but maybe it is. The whole watch appears to be put together from parts.

BTW, I've discover that the movement is from about 1906 to 1910. Almost 110 year old and still working and spot on on time. (+0.5 seconds delay a day , 218 amplitude)

·I would like to restore it, so I need to identify it so I can order the correct parts for it.

·Szia golden omega. Van egy teljesen ugyanolyan omegám 1912-ből, és tegnap elkezdtem restaurálni. Nagyon örültem, hogy találtam egy teljesen ugyanolyan órát. A te órád 1908-ban készült. (Az omega sorozat dekóderéből). Hű, nagyon örültem, hogy láttam egy másik órát 😀

·Do you have case back?
is some self made project
you can sell dial itself as it looks genuine Omega and might costs as whole watch you paid for
the movement is antique ladies size trench or open face pocket watch
Mid case just some unknown swiss made
