Re:
In Response To: Re: ()

: Before assuming that the watch was somehow especially for the
: wrist, pocket watches were produced in two variations.

: Open faced or Lepine, with the winding stem (remontoir to use your
: term) at 12
: Hunter cased or Savonette, designed to be in a covered face case,
: with the winding stem (remontoir) at 3

: -- held in the right hand, a right-handed man pressing the case
: release in the crown (at 3) with his thumb would have the watch
: with 12 at the top in the correct position to be read
: You are examining a hunter or Savonette pocket watch movement

: Omega, to my knowledge, never had a regular production multi-time
: zone pocket watch.

I FOUND A WATCH VERY CLOSE IN EBAY USA, THE SELLER IS WATCHSPIRIT AN OMEGA REGULATEUR 2 TIME ZONE, I AM VERY CONFUSED HE HAVE AN IWC THREE TIME ZONE EXACTLY WITH THE SAME DIAL AS THE OMEGA WITH THE SAME FLAGS AND IS ALSO A REGULATEUR, HE SAYS IN THE COMENTS THE DIALS ARE REDONE BUT NOTHING ABOUT A MECHANICAL MODIFICATION, THE OTHER WATCHES LOOK ORIGINAL I DON´T KNOW WHAT TO THINK ABOUT I WILL SEND YOU THE PICS TODAY IN THE AFTERNOON OR TOMORROW FOR THE WATCH I FOUND.

THANKS FOR YOUR TIME
