·Hi Everyone, I have found a WW2 Military watch at a dealer and I'm trying to check its authenticity. I havent been able to inspect it personally but the seller has been kind enough to send pics and videos of the watch.
Seems to check most boxes but I have the following questions. Any expertise or insights would be greatly appreciated.
1. Crown: I thought these watches typically feature plain crowns. This one has an Omega crown. Has it been replaced? Would this impact value or collectability?
2. Strap pins: I believe they should be welded, but I see tiny hole impression on the lugs. Does that mean anything?
3. Case interior and movement photos are pending. What specific details should I look for to confirm authenticity?
4. What is the best online resource to look up the serial numbers.
Thanks a lot.
