Nice watch to inherit!

But cannot tell anything reliable based on that description. All watches sound about the same unless described by an expert or have an *extremely* obvious feature unique to a single model. Those criss-crossing lines on the dial are the only thing in your description that aren't on hundreds of different Omega watches made in the past 150 years.

It is about like trying to identify a car that was described only as an "old red Ford with the Ford name in chrome letters, vinyl seats and round black tires." I'm not making fun of you -- merely using a example to show how identifying something like that really requires more detail than a novice would notice or think to mention. It takes someone experienced in seeing many of these watches to know what more subtle differences identify a time period, model line or specific style.

So a photo will make a substantial difference!
