These are the two watches I found a couple of weeks ago. The Omega is marked 14K on the outside of the case. It just need a new stem and gasket. The pocket watch was dated to 1919. The watch fob is signed Hayward's. Unfortunately the watch needed $500 in repairs. I'm probably going to display it. Overall the jeweler valued both at around $1.6K. It's probably in my top 10 finds. I always wanted to find a nice vintage watch for myself and I finally found one!

Congratulations! Beautiful watches! I love Omegas. Omega Seamaster?

Beautiful pocket watch, I would love to have found that awesome piece. :icon_thumleft:
 

Awesome find. The Omega looks like it needs a second hand too and is a great score. Get a second opinion on the pocket watch. $500 seems way excessive. I send my Omegas to the guy on EBay that lists $95 repairs. He has done two of mine and parts are reasonable.
 

Excellent score
