I have what I believe to be a 9ct gold pocket watch, left to me by my Grandfather, I think its 1920s?
Anymore information would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have much to offer other then I think it is actually 18k, and not 9k (the 775 marking)

 

Cheers, Looking closer at it, its actually 375, what does that number mean?

 

What have you found out yourself already on this watch? Googled ‘vintage Omega pocket watch" or 'Dennison' and looked for serial numbers to date the watch? What do the (gold?-)marks tell you?
Looks nice a nice piece.

 

I did look some stuff up a little, but I have no idea what to look for to be honest. I did look up Dennison a little while ago... I don't really know what the gold marks mean. Are there any sites to look up this sort of stuff?

Cheers

 

Ok, looking further, I have established that the case is 9ct (.375) 37.5% gold. Made in Birmingham. Case serial no. 208914. Assay letter of V, but I'm not sure what year it represents. I believe the watch was given to my grandfather during or after WWI

 

Going by the serial number on the watch, it would make it around 1920

 

That V also puts it at 1920-21

 

Thanks guys

 

D'oh, sorry! I should have blown up the photo more.

Pretty cool watch; congrats on having a really nice piece of family history.

 

Dating early-1920s - but I know nothing about Dennison cases. Definitely 9 carat.
David Boettcher's wonderful website http://www.vintagewatchstraps.com/casemarks.php gives more info.
A high quality Omega movement, probably quality 'D' and known as a 'Leader'.
Difficult to tell whether it's a 19''' (diameter 42.3 mm) or 20''' (diameter 44.5 mm).
Recommend that you get it serviced!
You have PM. Tom
