Hi all, nice thread! I recently acquired this beauty, 47mm, two-tone dial with cal 37.5 from end of 1930s, I believe. I saw a few with this dial configuration, but never with this exact case. It reminds me of the omega flying saucer, with the crown visually integrated within the case, I love it.

Does anyone know the reference or has seen this case before?

I suggest a ref CK 1071, here in a 1940 French catalog :

This one back from service and in my pocket this week. It's the sister to the 38 M-L posted earlier. This 38 M.S. in 14k HC now has correct hands and a very low-dome crystal, a necessity when the entire piece is 7mm thin. It came in with a crystal that impacted the inside of the case lid, oh well. It's a joy to have one of each of the 38 M production out of Geneva. The Geneva "special production" were supplied in very high-end cases. The unfortunate result of that is that a bare movement will be spotted with the case undoubtedly scrapped for metal value. I picked up a bare M.S. movement to have on hand for parts if necessary or in the unlikely event someone has an empty 38 M.S. case..

Just curious if anyone have got more information for the supposedly 1982 Olympic pocket watch?

I don't see a serial number anywhere on the movement - for Omega to make a watch like this without a serial number is unusual.

The numbers on the tag do not bring up any results on the Omega Extranet. Not definitive, but certainly unusual...

Quite gorgeous! IS the dial solid gold?
My wife is a Swiss! Here's a scan of the dial showing a small scratch over by 10:00, clearly not solid.

Hi guys,
I d like to start with my first pocket watch.
I find this ML 1140 Lipine UK from 1944, I read that 10k of these pieces were supplied to the British forces during the Second World War.
What do u think about the stories and the status of Watch? It has some issue on glass and case, but I think 250€ could be a good price.

Hello Guys

I'm about to purchase a movement in order to refurbish it. It looks very much like an Omega but not signed. I didi not find it in th "bible". Would it be a Labrador or Patria?
It measures 12 or 12,5 lignes without sub second.
Any info about it?

thanks

It is an Omega. The earlier ones were not signed. It should have its serial and a ref to patent n°8750 on the other side, under the dial.

thanks Tire comedon

i'm hesitating. A lot of work on it. I'd like to blue the screws, make a platinum or ruthenium plating and casing it. A lot of polishing the headscrews ahead.

Not a franken I Would say. I don't intend to make a fake Omega but more a Glashutte style movement with classic blued hands.

A very simple Omega 17'' savonnette. With a cracked dial. I didn't buy it for its movement or its condition, but I liked the unusual Art Nouveau decorated case. The silver case is a national production (Argentinian?) and therefore unsigned.

Railway Days at our local Heritage Park is over for another year. Two days of being immersed in watches and clocks. Tiring, but fun.

Hi experts! I know absolutely nothing about watches. I have an inherited Tissot and an inherited Rolex, and as of last week also a vintage Omega pocket watch. I got that one as a gift from an 83 year old lady who said it was her grandfather's. That should make it about 100+ years old. I haven't found any pictures of a watch with similar golden stripes on the face (it looks more golden than the picture conveys). Does anybody know what this one is? Thanks in advance!

Best if You could put 2 extra pictures : back of watchcase (with hallmarks) and movement picture. If we got year of production it will be more easy to recognize it. Best Regards
