Recently I opened one of my older Omegas and discovered that someone wrote "B.U" on the back of the dial. What's this? A person's initials? Something from Omega? Does this prove that is/is not franken/fake... shouldn't I be worried at all? Can someone help me out with some more details regarding this piece? History, usage, stories, you name it... Serial no. being 143774xx, is it possible to date it more accurate than ca 1954? Here are some pictures of the watch itself: Best, Oldemors Piquet
a dial made of the rare Butonium?? or maybe a dial pulled from BackUp inventories? My apologies, I'm not taking much too seriously these days....
If you want more precise informations about when the watch was produced, you can order an extract from the archives of Omega (150$). No clue about that B U sign. Looks like a lot of fun.
Don't know about the BU but my Patek Philippe pocket watch has the company initials on the back of the dial
Yes, you should be worried. It's the mark of a satanic cult - Beelzebub United - and the watch is now cursed.
Hmmm, I thought it was a typical quality-control issue for a product manufactured in the old "Boviet" Union
