Watch Description

Hello All,

Been a while since I posted.  I have been doing a bit of research on this and believe it to be a 1927-29 Bulova Trojan or Conqueror.  I looked at this database and the advertisements.  For these years, the Trojans and Conquerors look very similar.  I am leaning toward Conqueror only because the Trojan usually appears to have the fancier hands.  I would welcome your expert opinions.  Also, the Dial color is unique.  I have not seen this before.  It may be some sort of patina?  The only history I have on the watch is that it was "rebuilt" in 2010.  What that means exactly, I have not idea.  I guess it could be a redial with different hands?  Would love to hear your thoughts.  Thanks.  One last note, I would not have noticed this unless I read about it in this forum, but the movement does appear to have the "Omega" logo stamped on it??  Inside caseback writing indicates "Pat. Jan 11, 1927"

May consider selling.  This is in near mint condition for the age - almost 100 years old.  The provenance I have indicates the watch was "rebuilt" in 2010.  I am not sure if this means overhauled (Tear down clean and oiled) or if this includes a redial, new hands, etc.  Watch runs strong.  I have not tested it for accuracy.  Dust cover over movement allows hinged caseback to be opened to observe movement without exposing to dust, etc.  Dial appears to be a brown shadow stripe pattern with Blued steel hour and minute hands.  There is an outer ring on dial for minutes.  Large arabic numeral hour indices and a seconds subdial that has markers which have been slightly worn over time.  Movement is 10AN with the Omega stamp below the movement serial number of 651409.  The outside caseback is hinged but unmarked.  The inside caseback indicates "Bulova Quality,  Pat. Jan 11, 1927, with a case reference of 9358531.
