Omega Pocket Watch?

[slicedbread]

I just won this watch:

I'm not even sure that if it's going to work or not....But I figure if it doesn't I can get that fixed?? Also, isn't Omega a sought after brand or am I confused? Regardless I got it for a very low price...

If I remember correctly, this watch is nearly round, with the crystals almost complete domes.

I really do like the look of this watch, the original is dated to roughly the late 1800's.

You're correct that Omega is a sought-after watch brand. They're known mostly for sports watches, such as the Seamaster professional line, but do some nice dress watches as well. Not as many people have heard of it as have Rolex, which is a bit more appealing to me.

Should be intersting to see how it fits in a watch pocket!

Wear it well.

Congratulations, cool buy! I've been looking at similar watches on eBay. Very Victorian/"steampunk," I thought.

Omegas

I have one from 1944 . I was told FWIW that they are the only famous brand watch whose value increases ever upwards.

Another steampunk watch, along with more steampunk-alia.
