    Some of you have seen my creations using the NOS watchco dials. This pair is among my favorites - they are housed in 36mm 18k rose gold swiss omega cases.

    2890 is the reference in steel - this looks to me to be the same case but ref. is 2896 in 18k rose gold. Watchco had 4 NOS steel cases - ref. 2890 and needless to say I got them all and all 4 have these dials.

    Here it is in the original Omega 1894 edition. Any differences in color are purely as a result of lighting.

    Thank God Watchco is sold out of these dials, so I won't have to compete with you guys for cases for my dials :p

    For these 2 I kept the stock movement which is a cal. 267.
    And watchco may yet sell them again in the future - never say never with them. This is the 12th such dial I have cased and still have 4 of them in the parts box.
