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

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. Unless it is a family heirloom.

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
