This one looks pretty, but...
It looks like one of the many pocketwatch conversions coming out of eastern Europe.

If it keeps good time, you did okay.
I happen to like these, but many collectors look down on them because they are "frankens".
Unknown OMEGA watch

FYI: OMEGA never made .....

i like them as its better to make up a watch than to dispose of the movement.
a lot of them are a bit overly done, but this one has a very nice clean and legible dial. nice watch, nice price. i look forward to a wristshot as it doesnt sound too big. best Graham
