Hi
FYI: OMEGA never made a time only wrist watch with sub seconds at the 9 o'clock position.
this is a nice watch overall. The dial was repainted to match with it's new orientation.

It looks like one of the many pocketwatch conversions coming out of eastern Europe. They take an old original pocket watch movement, clean it up and put in a new wrist watch case with a repainted dial. Whether or not it's been serviced is usually debatable with these. If it keeps good time, you did okay.
I happen to like these, but many collectors look down on them because they are "frankens".

Hi to everybody.
I have just bought a beautiful OMEGA watch ( dimm : 44 mm ).
I am worried about if it is original OMEGA, I attach pictures, did anybody seen similar ?
I would be very grateful for any help !

It's a pocket watch conversion ...
..... I would say. Usually encase in Ukraine or similar. Nice watch, but a marriage.
.
yeah, pocketwatch in a wrist case. but very pretty.
i notice the regulator is pushed wide...you may want to get it serviced.

I am still waiting for the parcel, I hope that the pictures are before watch was serviced.
On auction there was written that this is w pocket watch putted into case of the wirst watch,
I know that the mechnismism isOmega's but I am worried about dial ( face with didgts ) becuse I can't find simmilar fonts of OMEGA,
how do You think ?
also the seconds are on a left side not below.
I can't wait for it
it cost 185 EUR but it looks real nice, I hope that the same willl be in live...

The dial is obviously repainted. Obviously the crown in the pocket watch was at 12, while now it has to be at 3.
The dial consequently has been repainted, rotated of 90 deg. And the Omega symbol is quite round and not vintage.
But for 185 is a good buy, you knew what you were buying I understand.

i like them as its better to make up a watch than to dispose of the movement.
a lot of them are a bit overly done, but this one has a very nice clean and legible dial.
nice watch, nice price. i look forward to a wristshot as it doesnt sound too big.
