Hi folks !

I'd like to show you a nice Ed White 105.003-63 I recently acquired:



Non-pro dial, with applied Omega logo:



Step

this dial may have been produced a very short time after the T marking surrounding "Swiss made" became mandatory. So the Ts were added in a second time, hence the asymmetrical design (low Ts / high SWISS MADE).
This dial is the A6bis type according to MWO.



Drop end chrono hand:

patinated tritium on hands:



faded blue DON base 500 bezel:

Hesalite glass with thick Omega logo, not clear if type 2 or type 4 according to MWO



Few stains on minute and hour subdials.



Pushers are type 2 Medium, 4.5 mm diameter X 3 mm length.
Crown is a replacement



Lug facets are still visible :



Double bevelled back with engraved seahorse:



And the final wristshot, on a nice JB champion bracelet



Cheers to all !

Also, I'd love to know where in the range the movement lands (pm if you prefer). My -63 is 20,522,xxx and doesnt have the asymmetrical T's. Is there a rough estimate on whether these fit for certain subsets of the range?

Serial is 20,526,xxx
Sorry I do not have the answer to your question
The successive dial references High Swiss Made (A6), Asymmetrical Ts (A6bis) and close T (A7) are correct for this ref.

Any thoughts on the bezel? Font looks rather fat and washed out (un-crisp).

What a beautiful watch @fibonacci086 ! Lovely fading on the bezel. 👍
I noticed you've had a couple of geographical comments on your sub dial, but I think the chaps are clearly mistaken.😕
