Watchlords

Found in a guy's parts bin, no less.






Wondering if you could help with model and date, Christopher.
It looks like a very, very early cal. 1000 series, can't find an auto with just '1000' on the plate, usually 1030.
I'm trying to get the case serial, will update if I can.

Looks just like my 1530 with butterfly rotor. If that 400k serial # matches the case then 1958. I'll research this evening if I ever complete tomorrow's presentation.

Thanks my man.

The dauphine hands, hour markers, and tighter than current coin edge bezel are all mid to late 50's and period correct to watch.

There a couple of model number references it could be. Interestingly the transition models from bubbleback to semi bubbleback to modern oyster didn't always account for different bezels.

I think that 400k # will correlate with case #. Can't wait to hear.

I'll look through more books when I can.

Maybe 6084

Maybe 6567. Mine was 14k with that handset. Reference appears as two tone, 9ct, and 18k too.

6567 two tone sounds possible, as the milled bezel appears gold to me.
Again, thanks Christopher.

Did you get additional info?

Had no reply from owner in Philippines mate.

This is just so wrong:



Naturally, the watch is worth a small fortune.

I can't wait for the SpaceX signed Omega Spacemaster. Or will Rolex get that honor first? :-)
