Re: I need Help, if you can be so kind, please!

: Hi there!
: I was surfing at your website. My name is
: Abelardo Siqueiros and I live in Mexico.
: Here's the thing: I`m selling an Omega
: watch, but it has been very hard to find out
: about this model that I have. The only thing
: I know is that this is not a common watch.
: If you want pictures of it, i can send them
: to you, just write me back at my e-mail

: The information that I have was at the inside
: of the watch, (sorry about my english, it is
: not my first language) I went to a jewelry
: and they weighted it and opened it (in front
: of me) and this is all that I know. The next
: info was engraved inside the watch: 24
: jewels
: 18 k 0.750
: Box Number : 161005

: The gold's weight is 69.7 gr (I don't know the
: weight in pounds)

: They told me that is not a common watch because
: most of this models were made on a rounded
: format, and this one is Square! and that it
: was made between 1961 and 1971. I would like
: some help about this. Hope that you can give
: me a hand at sending me more information
: about it, because I'm selling it.

: Thanks a Lot, Have a nice day!

There should more numbers on the movement and on the inside of the caseback. YOu can trace a lot of information from the movement number and serial number but this 161005 seems incomplete. Post a pic here as well that way more people will be able to help you. Another good source is Omega website's Vintage watch info. Good luck!
