Re: my grandmother's Omega
In Response To: Re: my grandmother's Omega ()

: Let's try to identify the watch as much as possible without photos

: First, what does the estimate say? They will have given you a good
: bit of information or will if you inquire further.

: In the meantime:

: Pocket watch or wristwatch?

: Manual winding, automatic winding, tuning fork or quartz?

: Approximate age, if you know?

: Size in millimeters -- width, length and thickness, as best you
: remember?

: Case metal: 14k or 18k?
: Any external gemstones?

: Bracelet or strap?

: Sam aka Hewybaby

It says:

Back is marked
Back back has one or more dents
The crystal is scratched
Moisture damage is evident on the hands
Moisture damage is evident on the dial
Due to the years of wear and previous servicing, we can no long ensure or warranty total water resistance of your watch
A complete maintenance service is required
Because of the special nature of this repair, the watch must be sent to Switzerland for Service.
"Vintage/Complicated; replace or restore dial and hands"

Caliber is 244
There is no serial number listed

It is 18K gold to the best of my knowledge
It is rectangular in shape
I'm not very good with guessing measurements, but it's about 3/4" long & a little narrower in width.
Does this help?
