need help identifying approx age etc
Hello. I have an old Omega that my mother passed down to me and I'm thinking about having it serviced or possibly restored (but I don't know anything about it). My mother said it belonged to her father and she thinks it was given to him by his father (my mom is 75 years old). Could this watch be from the 40's or 50's? The case is 18k. Amazingly, it keeps good time! I'd still like to either get it restored or at the very least, a servicing and new straps. I'd love to hear any information that someone might be able to provide (and I can take more pictures). Not a watch I'd ever sell, just would love to know more about it. Thanks in advance for any information.A

Any updates on Speedy Tuesday orders?

PAM00512 or some other Panerai?

To help out, here is what I like about the 512:1. The case size. I have relativey small wrists, and like the idea of 42mm, and that it fits nicely under a cuff. 2. Manual Wind. This will not be a watch I wear every day, and so I see no advantage in having it be an automatic.3. The clear case back. I don't have one, and think that its a neat thing to have on a manual watch.4. The overal look, and that fact that I think it will look great with b
