Re: 1906-1909 Pocket watch ID
In Response To: Re: 1906-1909 Pocket watch ID ()

: Pocket watches were often cased at the point of sale. Is the case
: marked Omega? If it is an Omega case, the number you quoted is a
: case serial number, which is different than the movement serial
: number.

: Omega pocket watch movements ranged from 9 to 23 jewels and had a
: variety of methods of regulating the balance wheel (the part you
: can see in motion when you examine the movement). The movement
: has the movement serial number and the number of jewels marked
: on it.

: Please post either the numbers from the movement and describe the
: regulation mechanism and the case manufacturer, or better,
: photos of the case and movement.

Thank you very much for the quick reply!
Ya my movement looks just like your last picture...

here are two pics of my watch, maybe someone can tell me more about it!

Front:

Movement:

I know it looks very very abused, but it survived 2 world wars and many drops to the floor from my grandpa.
The glass was replaced numerous times and the spring as well.

Also I can not see any movement ID...Why are there no markings on the movement other than OMEGA?
Thanks
Daniel
