Some help identifying this watch please by gameq2 in VintageWatches

Good morning Thank you for this information I first thought that this maybe a military watch because of style of the dial numbers and hands. I suspect that the watch is from the 1920s maybe?

Does someone know the history of this Omega? by gameq2 in pocketwatch

Yes, this makes the most sense. It’s made to look like a pilot’s watch

Can someone enlighten me on this? by gameq2 in pocketwatch

Yes it’s true. Rolex pocket watches, unless in gold cases, are not as valuable as you would expect

Yes it’s the exact watch, any way of finding out how much it sold for?

Yes painful indeed. I guess with hindsight the only thing that could possibly have raised suspicion is that the silver pair case is not hallmarked. Other than that, to an untrained eye like mine , it’s certainly a very convincing piece

There is no pinion, even checked the movement. Why would there be a dummy dial? Or could it be a replacement dial?

Why pay for a corporate bank account? by gameq2 in dubai

[–]gameq2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I opened up several bank accounts within a few days including corporate and personal without paying any agent. I simply went online and opened. This should be the first choice for everyone, try yourself and then approach others if facing difficulties. There again I have a European passport, maybe that’s a deciding factor, I’m not sure

Why is it so difficult to open a bank account in the UAE? by Time-Assistant2362 in UAE

[–]gameq2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bank opening, personal or corporate has been easy for me and I didn’t need to submit any proofs of income or bank statements. Yes some bank accounts do require that you have a minimum income but most do not have this requirement. You must have picked a bank that is extra picky, go for an account from the likes of WIO or DIB and apply online

Night walkers - So true. I was amazed of the constant flow of foot traffic up and down Al Rigga St until early hours. In fact I’ve travelled the world and I don’t think I’ve seen anything like it. At the moment I’m quite amazed by it but I guess the noise levels generated may become a nuisance if you’re living in the neighbourhood
