Thank you for the advice. Per the Omega site, it is a 1982 Seamaster Jubile. 6 jewels. Says it is steel, but my watch is plainly gold. Is there a way to dig deeper into that? I cannot seem to find much about this style. I would love for this to be the beginning of a new hobby, but this is already proving to be a bit cryptic. Inside number:1950284/3960974.
: Omega watches from this era had some variations from their
: "traditional" markings, but:
: Open the watch with a sharp, stiff blade or get a watchmaker to do
: it (at next battery change)
: Inside the caseback will be a case/model number; this will
: "identify the watch" on the Omega vintage website
: On the watch movement will be two numbers
: -- near an omega will be a 10 digit number xxxxxxxx; the first two
: digits may be larger; this is the movement serial number which
: will give the approximate date from a table at the Omega website
: and several places on the web
: -- There will also be a movement "calibre" number, which
: is likely four digits; which can also help identify the watch on
: the Omega vintage website
: hope this helps
