thanks for the reply
The story is my wife's grandmother had this basically new looking watch in an omega box with some coins and dollars from 1902 in her bedroom for god knows how many years. She passed away a couple years ago, and we found it about a month ago. We believe it was her grandfather's watch (he passed a way a few years before grandma) . None of us had heard of omega watches, sadly. Other than the watch and the box, we had no other information about it or with it. So we are left with a mystery. I haven't taken the back off yet, but I don't think it is wind, because no one has touched it in a couple years and after i picked it up it started working shortly after. I am not sure about the mechanisms because I really am just learning about watches. Omega seems like they make really neat watches, I have been looking at some of the newer models myself. Very nice workmanship, it seems.
So that is pretty much the story I will probably remove the back this weekend because I was on omega's vintage site and it seems if I put the model and a couple other numbers in, it might be able to tell me what it is..
Thanks for the info though. It definitely gives me somewhere to start.
