Anyone know what ref this is. I've done several searches on Google and looked at the image results and none of them match this What movement? Any history? Rare?
I sent you a p.m. But the answer is no. This was supposedly given to a guy at 1973 as retirement gift. I was looking through Google Images for that time. And no identify matches or similar images came up
Btw. The reason I did not post pictures of the movement and clear photos of the entire watch is that it has not arrived at the watch shop yet. Once it arrives, I will certainly post clear pictures of the entire watch, the dial, the crown, lugs case back and we will open it up and I will get photos of the movement
The only reason I posted it at this time is that I can't find any photos of this type of case on Google and thought some of y'all might know whether this is some weird frankenwatch.
I think Omega had "special" watches for awards at one point. I think this way a recipient wouldn't find an example in the local jewelry shop and compare price. I'm just guessing at this. I have an award watch that I've found other examples of but only as an award watch.
