Hi all,
First post, I've been admiring from afar and love the Omega brand.

I'm looking forward to getting my own new Speedy hopefully by next year, but in the meantime considering buying a vintage piece soon.
On that note, I cam across the following unusual piece and although didn't win this time I would like your opinions in case something similar comes along.

I quick Google search doesn't find any details about this model, so I'm wondering if it would be a mistake to buy something of this nature?

 

Good afternoon,

If you look at the description of the watch, you can see it once was a pocket watch than now has been converted into a wristwatch. As far as I can see, no omega movement cal hallmarks, just a random "Omega" engraved in the movement. Most of the times this means that the movemet has nothing to do with Omega and someone just engraved the word Omega to make it look real. Another alarming thing is the lack of reference numbers in the case (as far as my poor eye sight can see).
You did good by passing on that one, and by a general rule (unless you really enjoy them) avoid converted watches, as they tend not to be original in any sense.
I could be wrong, though! Let's see what the experts have to say.


Best,
Javi.

 

Seems like I messed up!
My bad

Thank you for the feedback.
I must admit, I was very tempted mostly due to it being silver and the intresting engravings / inscriptions in the back.
