Vintage Omegas are actually better than vintage Rolex watches. Before the 1960s Omega pretty much dominated the watch industry with its variety of designs and reliable movements, at this point Rolex had few desirable models and a not so reliable movement. When buying watches its mainly about the name, and since in todays world the Rolex brand is synonymous with luxury watches you are going to pay more for that.
I would be very suspect in buying any vintage watch from any brand. I can't imagine a watch made in 1913 would have been regularly serviced over the past 100 years. The parts made during that time are far from the parts in todays modern watches. I would expect their to be a lot more grinding and since synthetic lubricants were not available in those days they would need to be serviced at a much higher interval.
On that note the likeliness of having failing/broken parts is much higher, so I wonder where the replacements parts are actually coming from. Its near impossible to locate some spare parts for Omegas produced in the 1960s so I highly doubt finding ones for watches earlier than that would be easy.
In many vintage watches you will find replacement parts from a number of different sources, some of these parts being cheap parts from china, some parts will be hacked together from a similar part etc. Its even common to find a completely different movement inside the case.
In the case of your converted pocket watch, I wouldn't call that a vintage Omega, cause calling something "Vintage Omega" implies that it was made by Omega, I would really question how much of that watch was actually made by Omega if any at all. The dial has been engraved but its nothing original, probably something produced within the year and thrown into the watch. It appears a lot of work has been done engraving it but it sadly it doesn't add any value to the watch. Even if it did have a 100% authentic Omega movement, it wouldn't mean all that much anyway seeing as Omega pocket watches can be had for a few hundred dollars (for one in great condition). Generally people who collect watches prefer to have original unaltered pieces whose origins could be traced. A price tag of over 1000 is a very high price to pay. It is interesting piece and if you enjoy it then its all that matters.
As for watches increasing in value, its really not true in the traditional sense. The vast majority of the watches out there will only lose value. Currently some watch brands appear to be increasing in value but its because of price manipulation. For example someone could have bought a watch in 2008 for $1000 and today will see same make and model costs $2500. In the past 5 years Swiss watch companies have increased the prices of the watches by 1.5 times to 3 times their MSRP. The best indicator of what a watch costs is the MSRP vs the price of the item used, and in these cases the used prices arent increasing nearly as much as the new MSRP. Saying this there are some watches that are increasing in value but these are rare limited edition pieces.
