that was a good deal, not surprised it didn't last long

 

Do you think the dial is original? I was comparing it to the advert it is pictured with and noticed quite a lot of discrepancies in the sub dial area and also the absence of "Swiss"

 

Then that is really a fantastic watch, it looks to have hardly been worn at all.

 

Is it typical for the inside case lettering (OMEGA) to have such an irregular, hand engraved look?

 

Anyone bought a watch from China?

 

Here for comparison is a picture of the inside case back of my 2445 of c1946, serial numbers in the same range, also 18k. You will notice quite a lot of differences, but maybe these are just down to different case manufacturers?

 

Yes, it's quite normal. Here's another example of this spidery text, this is a 28.10 from 1945.



and here a 2627 from 1950.

 

High risk anything from there lol

 

Seems to be moving around quite a bit of late, though it does appear to be genuine. It's the same watch sold thru the forum by Kyle in Nov. 2012 (http://omegaforums.net/threads/wtt-18k-1940s-omega-chronometre-30t2rg.2042/) then apparently flipped later that same month on the watchuseek forum (http://forums.watchuseek.com/f29/fs-rare-omega-30t2-rg-chronometer-18k-original-dial-777931.html).

 

The same seller sold a really nice connie just last year.
