What a splendid watch.

It's interesting that the regulator indicates "F" and "S" for fast and slow. I wonder if this was specifically made for export since the swiss/european preference is "A" and "R" for advance, and retard respectively.

Here is an example from a 1950 Omega showing the "A" and "R" indicators.

Does anyone have knowledge on this?

Hi,

Bellow is the information from Omega about this pw.

OMEGA – gents pocket watch (no line name)
Case # 7’620’406
Mvt # 5’895’274
Extra-flat manual winding pocket watch movement of cal. 17/19’’’ LX
leader quality NN (negative setting, with intermediate wheel fixed on the plate)
Watch reference: DB 141 LV – goldplated case ( 10 years warranty)
Manufactured and delivered to our Agents in Brazil / Nov. 15, 1927

It is very uncommon the F&S in the regulator for watches that was exported to Brazil.

Yes, Chris, I added the glass back and replaced the bezel.
