I need help finding a name for the style and a date and price estimation. The watch that I found has omega - automatic on the face and on the back cover says *14k gold filled. It's also engraved with a R.B. Tuttle. On the insides of the cover it has a serial number I that's 14460669. Under the omega sign it also has G-6239. On the mechanical side it says seventeen, 17, jewels, unadjusted, omega sign with 351 and these numbers in another spot 12824154. Any help would be awesome! Thanks Jason.

The leather band was also strange as it goes behind the back and has L. gold on the clasp.

 

It sounds like a US made case. The serial number on the movement dates it to 1951, which is correct period for the caliber 351. Omega sent movements to the US for installation in gold cases to avoid the import tax on precious metals and calibers of more than 17 jewels.

 

This is great thanks for the help!

When it comes to tax, duty, excise and GST, etc, you name it, we have it. Soon there will be the carbon tax, despite Australia's carbon emission is virtually negligible, compared to those industrialized countries. Isn't Down Under a lucky country?

When it comes to the tax system, just ask any accountant, how complicated ours is. Ironically, the big players pay minimal tax, while the have-not pay the maximum, percentage-wise.

Thank-you.

For how long more, do we enjoy this little sweetener?

Thank-you.
