Such a cool unusual watch I picked up earlier in the year. The second hand is the “Peace sign”.
It has a Swiss movement by Sovereign Watch company??? And the dial and case made in Hong Kong. Anyone shed any light???? Guessing late 50’s to early 60’s.

BFG = Swiss manufacturer Baumgartner. Maker of (ahem) popular priced pin lever, low or no jewel movements for very inexpensive watches.

Potentially a little gem then?

Some folks collect watches like that. Not many on the Omega Message board, though. And certainly, not me.

No! NOT expensive! 😉 The exact opposite. Perhaps not what you wanted to hear.

Love the watch despite the movement, probably over paid but try and find another

That is one bare bones movement. I don’t think you could find a cheaper one from that period. Even the fakes from that period used AS movements.

True but your reply is over 2 years after the OP created this thread, so to find one in mint condition like yours is near impossible since collectors aren't inclined to sell 😁
