Hello, I'm currently trying to purchase this watch.

I believe it's a bumper from the 40s but do not have more info on it.
Can anybody help?

Seller told me everything is original and keeps good time.

Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forum. Can you provide better photos? What did you base your purchase on, any detail will be helpful

Thanks!

I didn't purchase this yet but the title says "Vintage Bumper" and the seller told me he purchased it from a private collector this year.
He is not a watchmaker so doesn't know what movement is inside but will give me a refund if it is fake.
Original dial, case, and crown is what he told me. 34mm size.

From my research the design looks like an Omega from the 40s.
How much do these go for if all the info provided was true?

More photos attached.

I don't recall seeing this case design before, but if the dial is correct to the reference and not a franken/service item, then the watch is from no earlier than 1953.

Yeah, I had a feeling it is a redial but wanted to be wrong.

Redial, in my opinion. But the pix are very bad and low res.

Mine is a cal 344 serial 14,031, XXX circa 1954......lots of serifs
