Hello,
A few years ago my father in law gave me a plastic bag filled with all sorts of costume jewelry and pins. He said the bag had been in his basement untouched for over 40 years. In the bag was this Omega Bumper. I gave it a few shakes and it started working. If anyone has ever held one of those bumper movements they are very noisy. So I wore it a few times with a suit and it was keeping time very well.
From the serial number It would have been made in the mid 40s
Size is 34mm with omega crown and 38mm lug to lug. My wrist is almost 7'' for anyone asking.
A few months ago I noticed that the time keeping was off and that it was making more noise then usual, seems like the rotor is a little loose (perhaps a screw is loose?) I'm almost certain it's a cheap fix...I don't know anything about these movement and to be honest it's really not my style of watch.
I have no clue what it's worth, I've tried searching on the Bay but prices are all over the place.
I'm selling for you to fix or for parts: Only $250 OBO shipped
