Looks great, but probably he should move the hands out of the scripts 😀

I wonder what the deal is with the Hermes on the caseback?

I could be wrong, but I think it's a reflection 😀

Great looking watch, btw. Love the solid gold buckle! Is the round Omega logo on the inside of the caseback ok for the time period? I have always thought that they were for older watches.

The dial and movement are both signed Fab. Suisse, which tells us that this watch was for the French market. The old style case mark you are referring to was used for French production precious metal Omega cases. The watch was possibly retailed in France in a Hermes store although I must say I have not seen an engraving like that before, so pure speculation on my part. I do however have a Turler signed Centenary so it isn´t outside the realms of possibility.

I didn't see the "Fab. Suisse" on the dial before now 🤦

I didn't read about the inscription in the text before now 🤦🤦

I'll just go to bed.

Maybe @John R Smith needs to check in to update his Centenary spreadsheet.

It's been awhile.

Building on the knowledge provided here. That's free enterprise 🙄

Yup, shame though as it now will get comments along the lines of,``Overpriced considering condition`` 😉

Hey, they're taking offers. Maybe offer a couple hundred over the original price and make sure you reference the original auction.

At that price, it should be sitting there a long time.
