·Hello All,
During a discussion with my dad over Christmas, he let me know that he had my Grandpa's gold watch that he received as a retirement gift after 30 years of service to the city. This was, of course, after he learned that I'm a bit addicted to watches. He then casually mentioned, "I think that it's an Omega," to which I replied, "Why am I just finding out about this now?!"
Anyway, my mom sent me these pics(not great), but I'm having a heck of a time finding much information. Most of what I find seems to be manual wind watches from the 50's or 60's. My grandpa retired ~1971, so I'm just assuming that this is probably the year this watch is from. Appears to be all gold including the bracelet. Once I can get my hands on it, I'll open up the back to see what other information is inside. But in the meantime, if anyone can lead me to more information, I would greatly appreciate it.
