i agree with the others, just a movement service and perhaps a bit of a case clean
which country are you in ?
the reason i ask is that i'm in UK and have a friendly ex Omega watchmaker who charges a lot less than sending it to Omega. any good local watchmaker should be able to do the job so no need to pay the huge prices Omega charge if you dont want to.

Help needed identifying Grandfathers Omega
Hello all, My Dad was going through his box of childhood treasures, at the bottom of this box was this old Omega his Father received after 25 years service with his then employer. I was wondering if any of the learned Omega purists were able to shed some ...
If there are no...
Hi, If there are no signs of oxidation I suspect it might be from rose (pink) gold... Either it is gold plated or solid gold - then you should be able to find tiny hallmarks for the gold content. I advice to go to a watchmaker and let it be opened. Take a...
Found this one
thank you very much erich and mrsnak for your replies. i found this watch for sale online. It says its just a "dress watch", mine shares similarities, (unusual pattern on face, hands and seconds dial) which makes me think mine it isn't a particular model ...
Cal 265s........
Cal 265s were introduced in 1949 when the old 30T2 was renamed so I don't think that watch could be 1947. Cheers
does circa count?
aroma, i understand no external links are allowed, i can tell you i copied the information from one of Australia's more reputable second hand vintage watch sellers website. It does state "circa 1947". If that makes a difference? also quoted ref. 11895732/...
Here's a similar Omega that I dated back . . .
. . . to the early '50s, and which is equipped with a cal 265 movement. This one belongs to a friend, and was passed on to him from his Dad. Thanks for sharing your heirloom with us . . . cordially, Art...

Service and bracelet
cheers graham, I'm in Queensland, Australia. If non Omega repair is ok with you purists i will certainly look into it. I just assumed you guys would only want Omega touching your babies! Can i ask your opinion/knowledge if any, on the bracelet? is it orig...
i dont think any of...
i dont think any of us would object to a good watchmaker doing the job rather than sending it back to Omega. it makes sense and is usually quicker. the bracelet is certainly of the same period, but not original. my advice would be to take it off and put i...
weird bracelet
thanks for your input. I'm certainly not attached to the bracelet. it looks very fragile and sharp! Ive never seen anything like it. Its up to my dad about changing the bracelet. He will probably want to keep it as his dad left it. my dad gave me a Speedm...
if you check back or...
if you check back or do a search you'll find i did a speedie role call last year and we had a huge response. it just shows that it is an iconic watch. feel free to add to it if you find the post. best Graham
