Sharing this pre-war Swiss telemeter wristwatch to see if anyone here has encountered similar examples or can help with attribution. It features a black gilt multi-scale dial with telemeter/tachymeter markings, radium Arabic numerals, and a running small-seconds subdial at 9 o’clock; the opposing scale at 3 appears decorative, typical of 1930s chronograph-style telemeter designs rather than a true chronograph. The ~34 mm stainless steel snap-back case (Fond Acier Inoxydable) houses a manual-wind movement that’s currently running. The caseback engraving “DONT FORGET LINDY” ?? Lindberg??appears period-appropriate. Curious if anyone recognizes this dial layout or associated ébauche makers

It is difficult to tell what this is when someone has stripped out the parts that make the chronograph work.

Hey good morning, if you all ever happen to see a good forties or fifties omega for sale at any website, feel free to let me know.I'm trying to get a nice honest piece. You all have a great week. I looked at both omega enthusiasts and addict and they seem to have nice pieces and a good reputation, but a bit pricey. Have a great week!

Good spot by @gatorcpa - it also looks to have been re-cased. Curious.

@artisgil - Try looking for 1930 and 40s "Pierce" chronographs. Caliber 134 is supposed to be a "good" one (I had a cal. 130 that was effectively unfixable). Also, anything with a Venus 170 - they're not too spendy and prolific.
