Re: What do these numbers mean?

: The smaller number s inside are probably case
: ids. The 6 digit number on the inside and
: outside is a mystery. Normally, that would
: be the serial number--but Omega serial
: numbers are 8 digits long, not 6.

: Would help if you told us more about the watch
: itself. Posting a photo of it would make a
: huge difference. Is it modern or vintage?
: Seamaster, Constellation, Deville,
: Speedmaster, or simply labeled Omega?

I wish I new more...It's definitely an older watch, white face, chrome coloured body and plain numbers. The hands are white with black trim. At the 3 and 9 o'clock position there are two dials~seconds (left)and 30 minutes (right). There is the crown for winding and a push button for counting seconds. I noticed all other Omega's have either one or 3 to 5 "knobs". It says Omega and has the logo under the twelve. When I opened it up I found "Omega","17 Jewels", and the 977718 number engraved in the "workings". The 6002/1 and 9-58 were on the inside of the case cover. What I didn't mention was that it has engraving on the back of the cover...

R.C.A.F. (Royal Canadian Air Force)

SERIAL NO.

HA-60-014

6W-16

The back is the kind where you need a special "Key" to open it, there are 6 grooves where the key fits. How do I get a picture to anyone out there to help me identify it. By the way, I picked the watch up at a garage 2 weeks ago for one Canadian dollar, it keeps time perfectly but is a little rough in appearance.
Thnx!
