The line on the dial on the Omega pocketwatch is not a hairline
fracture on the porcelain dial. It was a pen mark that  couldn't be removed.

Update:


As of September 2009 I will be a member of the NAWCC local 121,
here in Vancouver, B.C.

Hello Shady,

There is an Elgin database that is available online.

As you've probably noticed on the images of
every pocket watch that were posted there are
a series of numbers.

These are the serial numbers that tell exactly as to
what year a particular watch was assembled.

Just copy and paste the link below.

http://elginwatches.org/databases/

Good luck.

Cheers,
Simon
