thank you very much Bill

Thanks for these 1st answers, I'm looking fwd to receiving further hints ! and thank you for welcoming me, I'm not very active and more on JLC and Rolex forums

I went at Omega's boutique in Paris but they do not have a watch-maker inside, so they refuse to open both watches. I have to go to my regular AD, I hope he can do it tomorrow. I'd be able to catch serial numbers and make an inquiry on Omega's website. Do you know if they answer quiclky on requests ?

An AD already opened the 1st one and unfortunately, this is not a 30T2 inside

The size is pretty big for a vintage watch and quite "modern", let's say about 36-38 mm. A new leather strap and it will look perfect !

The woman watch is more difficult for having some information.

If I can open these watches, I'll take a picture and post them tomorow morning

Do you think these watches may have a good value, I try to save the 2nd one frombeing melted for its gold.

Thank again !!

Fabrice

Dear all, I permit myself to post here to have some information on 2 Omega I just received. I have absolutely no information on them and can't find. If you can help me in giving me some clues so that I can know them a little bit more, I'll be very happy !...

You have very nice vintage Omegas...

Hi Fabrice Welcome to the forum... Your first watch is a uncommon "Jumbo" sized 30T2 manual wind wrist watch. I am guessing it is about 38 mm in diameter not counting lugs or crown. Omega did not make too many in the larger sizes... Very nice.. Your secon...

Caliber 483 for the woman watch and caliber 266 for the man Omega

Well the round watch does have a 30t series movement!!

By: Bill Sohne : June 11th, 2009-06:25

Hi jaeger92 Your round watch does have a 30t series movement.. Omega went to a 3 digit caliber reference in 1949. Your 266 is from the 30t series of movements that one is a keeper... I tink the melt value of the other is about what the watch is worth. Unl...

thank you !

I have a good bird-eye-view on these watches thanks to you. I'll bring the 266 caliber for a service in Bienna (including the dial I think) and the golden one will be sold in an auction sales I guess.. or melt.. poor end for a mechanical watch
