This post is offered for those who are interested in the old ‘Goliath’ pocket watches – a bit big for the typical pocket, but at least for display.

An eBay seller named watchcollector83, who gives his location as Lviv Ukraine, is offering a watch which he describes as being an ‘Antique Omega 8 days Goliath Pocket Watch’:

The watch shown is an Omega 30’’’ which will date 1906. The seller shows a catalogue extract (which has been copied from a different eBay seller in UK called sixpips1 – a shame he doesn’t give credit, so I’ll do it for him).

Only the very late Omega 30’’’ Goliaths were signed ‘OMEGA’ on the dial – and furthermore with a different font. The Omega on this dial has been added ‘aftermarket’. I am not accusing the seller of this addition – he may not even be aware of this – but it will not be original.

It could be worth a gamble if it's only ink, and not fired on, easy to return to original.

But then again, it could be a paper dial, who knows?

It’ll be an enamel dial and the OMEGA could be removed with some spirit – easily returning it to original. My post was merely to inform those who might be ‘taken in’!

Appreciate that Tom.
