    Classic watch :thumbsup:.

    You need to get a replacement for the broken hour hand though. You need Omega "Poire" style hands.

    e.g.:

    my abuelo bought it in august 1921 in Bilbao, he payed 610 pesetas according to the invoice
    i have not been able to calculate what else can you buy with that ammount of money to give you an idea of this price
    some reference found says it might be equivalent to 18.000 euro today, but not sure
