    Normally there would be a serial number and an Omega mark on the movement, I'd say the case is original but the movement could be a replacement, looking closely its slightly small in the case and there is evidence of the outer rim being hammered by the screw to lock it in place ?.

    Honestly I don't know a whole lot about Omega pocketwatches, it might be real, but the movement just doesn't look like one I've seen. Even if we do assume that it is real, Omega pocket watches from this era are VERY common and in extremely low demand, so much so that some Ukrainian ebay sellers are scrapping them and turning the movements into crappy wristwatches. The value of a real one is really very little.

    It is an early 19''' Omega movement, serial was only (under) dial at this time. 15 jewel, medium grade. The ratchet wheel is missing teeth and unlikely to be original. Although they don't fetch a lot of money, at least you will be able to buy a donor movement/watch cheaply to repair your Grandfather's heirloom - and that of course is priceless.

    I have 3 or 4 of these (although newer versions) and they run very well and very accurately when in good condition.

    P.S. find a new watchmaker :thumbsdown:
