  1. The Omega movement looks like it is from the 50's or 60's. You can find date of mfg by looking up the ser number if you had access to the Omega archives.

  2. I get the appeal, watches are amazing little machines.

  3. Take a look at an upper end (21-23 Jewel) Railroad Grade pocket watch. Very artful and most impressive. A "salesman's" case with a clear back is gorgeous!

  4. Manual wind movements. Automatics would be distinguished by the rotor.

  5. My great grandfather and grandmother worked at Waltham Watch, later when the retired they set up a lapidary shop in the basement making the synthetic sapphire and ruby jewels, few other parts too, for W.W. Everything was so tiny. I have a precision drill press and lathe they left me, incredible quality, they run so smooth they barely make any noise. Use them making parts for my forged knives and No Makers marks, only a seiel number plate, figure Waltham Watch produced their own machinery, supposedly they came from the factory originally.
