    Hi everyone,

    this is first thread on this forum, so hello to everyone!

    I've just bought my first Omega (hopefully of many!), as the title says, it was sold as a 1947(?) 14K bumper auto.

    however, I'm struggling to pin point an exact model for this watch, I've gotten pretty close on the Omega Vintage Database, but I don't think they've got the exact one on there.

    I've opened the case and gotten the Cal No. 351, and the serial number (starts with 11, i.e. 1947, from the watch finder list). The case has the number G 6267, which I don't think is correct for the watch, so unfortunately I don't think the back is original!

    I thought I'd use the expertise on this forum! could anyone tell me what they think the model no. Is?

    heres some pics:

    Sorry, I forgot to say, I think so far it's a US collection watch, sorry if that's obvious but I'm new to this!

    Your watch has a US case and a refinished dial and is late 40's early 50's.

    Thanks Omegastar, just as a pointer for the future, what are the signs of a re finished dial?

    feel free to point to another thread,

    thanks

    the "omega automatic" is greasy and to much space between the letters
