Yesterday we had a fun thread with this watch (dial misprint VII instead of VIII) today I got offered the following watch (supposedly the original for this re-hash) since the 1940ies are not my forte, could somebody more competent pipe in? it looks good ... too good (?) I understand the omegas have no gold hallmarks on the outside, but very old ones did (up until when?) what are your thoughts?... I dont have any movement pics .... but I'd be interested in first "stabs" at this ... Is it legit or am I completely off base here (Omega logo looks too contemporary???) ?... I mean that is not exactly a kind of watch that you'd forget once you saw it ... that dial, those fancy lugs ... thx for sharing your thoughts, any model number? best, Al
