Would appreciate the group's view's on this one. I particularly like the 'Omega' symbol on the hands, keeps great time which given it dates from c. 1925 cannot be bad.

Hi Chris

Couldn't part with it

It was a present form my beloved so the credit should really go to her, I was thinking we could do with a couple of Ball ORRS over here Roll Eyes, been reading up on the posts, wonderful wonderful watches

I have been looking for this quality Omega for over a year now. I am happy that it is with one of "us". Ask your "better half" that if she sees any more of these little beauties to let you know so you can pass that on to us IHC185 "Yanks".

Wonderful example Terry! Cool Thanks for sharing it with us!

The circular damaskeening is similar to Ball watches, Smile the hands and all the details are great but that Aaron Lufkin Dennison 18K case Big Grin is the finishing touch!

This Omega is one of the best I've seen from this period, and with the awesome hands, ALD case, and the very nice movement it's quite a find. Thanks for sharing this great watch!

Thanks for your thoughts guys, it's really great to get a qualified opinion, like when I show my kids/friends etc all I get is 'Oh! Eek (long embarrassing pause!) 'That's nice!'.........! Confused
David, will have a word with Bobbie as she obviously has a knack with these things, might get her to look out for a Ball Hamilton!, am happy to take orders, you never know!!!
Lindell, I have been a bit of an Omega nut for years and must confess I didn't know the middle name of Dennison. Sir, you are without a doubt 'The Master'.

Gorgeous Omega Terry, good to see that real gems do keep turning up in the UK.

Your wife has a good eye too, maybe you should get her to take on some commission work Big Grin

Best regards
