·Omega did a lot of 9kt gold cases, especially for the Geneve line I think.

·J jure_79Wow, tnx for the help, while researching the inscription I did came across GM Holden, but now it makes even more sense. There is a big Croatian community in Australia (even I have close relatives there), so there is a possibility of this watch travellong all the way here.
The current owner wants to scrap the watch for gold, so currently prior to saving the piece, I wanted to make sure it's not a 'Franken' ...
Tnx a lot, you helped me, but also helped a nice vintage piece not to get melted.
The case is actually quite unusual, if you look closely. And it seems to be very sharp and well cared for.

·Yes, the geometry is unusual, but other than the crystal the watch is in pretty good shape.
Thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it!
