    Hi all,

    First post and first potential vintage watch, so forgive me if I’m missing anything.

    I found what looks to be a vintage Omega trench in Prague, but I’m not sure if this is real as it seems to have the 24hr markings on the outside of the dial (as most have seen have them in the inside). Additionally, the hands seem to have lume on them which doesn’t seem to be consistent with non-lumed numerals.

    It’s being sold for roughly £600 which I’m not sure is a good deal, but would love to hear your advice and learn.

    Thanks

    Not sure if the second photo was an accidental upload. :)

    Oops, thanks for the spot, now removed, though I’ll say that drink was rather good!

    Numerals have had their lume removed. Not uncommon, that radium easily got into the movement as it aged and turned to dust.

    Doesn’t appear to be anything special to command that high price. Wrong crown too.

    That's not a GBP 600 watch. You can find better examples for < USD 500.
