Hi guys,
Today I was at my moms friends house because her husband use to collect watches and I asked if I could have a look at the collection, he has a great collection but it was never looked at and was just sitting, gathering dust. Just before we where about to leave I asked if he would sell any watches [my real intention of going there...]

He said...no.

But then he picked up a watch and said I could have it, he said he noticed me oogling it
It is an Omega 33.3.

Can anyone tell me anything about it, I realize it is quite valuable [I am still cant get over the fact it was given to me ], but other than that I know nothing, could anyone help me out.
Thanks Guys
Francesco

Serial:9584348
Case SN:955706
Cal: 33.3 Cro T1 [says that under balance {dont know what T1 stands for}]

Movt is dirty but I wouldn't dare clean it myself.
Maybe ill take it to Omega someday for them to clean it.

I tried looking it up on the omega website [there watch database] but the way they require you to enter the numbers is confusing and so are there instructions.

I'm thinking 9-10k what a remarkable gift

You've got me drooling Francesco!!
Here's as close as I can find to it:

Chris Abell and others here I'm sure can tell you what it is.
Very fine watch indeed!

WOW nice gift.

WOW!!What a gift!!

Francesco,

You may wish to reconsider sending a fine antique to Omega for service. There are much better options and some right here within this group are far more qualified to take on such work and far more likely to charge a realistic price for it.

Agree with William.
Omega was asking way over price for what I need to have them done on one of mines so good local watchmaker did for less them half price with ordering parts from them.

That is not only really special that it was gifted to you, but more importantly, that you really appreciate it. That's some watch and I'll be following this thread for comments by the experts. Great gift!

Hi Francesco

You sure not overheard something like washing the car, cutting the lawn or sweeping the sidewalk for lifetime ?
