Limestone Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Hi fellows...

offshore Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 If you can locate the serial no. this list will give you a date. http://www.chronomaddox.com/omega_serial_numbers.html The number on the inside of the caseback just tells Model, material etc. This is worth a read in trying to work out the age. http://www.chronocentric.com/omega/myomega.shtml O/S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asf Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Those 2 omegas are so beautiful! The lemania movement is lovely as well. Gotta say I'm jealous! I'd love to fall onto these! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mike Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Beautiful! Get them fixed up and keep them going in the family for the next generation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhooq Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Lemania is well-known for its movements (especially among Omega fans) but the watches are pretty nice, too. Your Lemania's movement looks a lot like an Omega Calibre 30. I've no idea how similar they actually are, though. Great watches! Find nice, period-correct straps to wear them on. Don't be lazy and put them on black NATOs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limestone Posted February 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 oh man, thanks for all the replys.. Yes, these will defenetly stay with me as I don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offshore Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Should I try to fix them my self. Henrick, The answer to that, is how much experience you have in repair. Frankly, if these were your 1st attempts, I would definetly say NO. There is too much family heritage, (aside from real world value) in these to use them as "practice" If however you have had some repair exposure, you will have learned some of the pitfalls of self repair, and if you could restore these to their former glory, you would achieve a greater sense of self satisfaction in each piece. Don't be in a huge hurry, they have all laid around for many years, another 6 months isn't going to be life threatening. If you haven't done any repairs, grab a couple of "clunkers" off the 'bay, get hold of a repair course like TZ watch school, and jump in feet and all. After a few months, you will know in yourself if these are the sorts of projects you are happy to take on. Then you can come here and get all the help and support needed as you work through each piece. Offshore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
