I have just had the most amazing good luck on Ebay. Despite winning the auction I did not meet the sellers reserve, and discussions revealed this was way above my bid. I therefore resigned myself to having lost it. Imagine my surprise therefore when I received a Second Chance Offer via Ebay for my original bid. Needless to say I jumped at the chance and am now the proud owner of the following piece...











It's the first Omega pocket watch I've bought on the Bay although I have a couple of Omega wrist watches and yes I am an Omegaholic!
I would appreciate a bit of help with dating this watch please. There is a date scratched on the inside of 1916 but the serial number dates it to 1924 if they follow the same system as wrist watches.
There is a number stamped on the chain holder ? which seems to start with a cross followed by 2783 P13 although the 2 and the 8 are difficult to be sure of.
Also there do not appear to be any Hallmarks on the watch which I can recognise so I assume it is not silver - perhaps silver plated?
Can anyone help me with these queries or point me in a direction where I can search further.
Many thanks

Being an Omegaholic is not necessarily accompanied by Omegaknowledge and certainly is not in my case
Like you this is my first Omega pocket watch so perhaps we can learn together from the replys to my questions
Can you post some snaps of your watch?

Have a read of THIS I struggled a bit to start with but honestly it's very easy. I use Photobucket to host my images - free and simple
