·Is there anyway to spot if it’s cal 321 or 861
Without open the case ?
The dial for example is identical on 145.006 vs 145.016. Or may be I’m missing something ?
Best regards / J

Maybe others will comment but I am not going to make valuations here. A quick tour on :
- OF sales section
- C24
- Watchrecon
- Ebay listings as well as recently sold items
will help you to answer your question yourself.
Own homework is also a journey where you train your eyes and learn a lot. Don’t let us spoil this pleasure 😉

·True , I’m already made my research just wanted to see if some one else came up with the same numbers 😉
This is a research thread dedicated to the 145.006/016 references. Unless you found a model that we didn’t cover here so far, I encourage you to start a dedicated thread to discuss values. Thanks 😀

·H HaffernThe only way you can see a difference without opening the case is the size of the actual case. The 145.006 has a slimmer profile than 145.016, but thats hard to tell from photos. Chuck Maddox has this covered in his "dimensions of selected Omega list".
Halfdan
hardly reliable as most of cases were redone during the 50 years so there'sa good chance you pay for a 321 and end up with a 861 that way 😉

·Wouldn’t you be able to tell by the ‘smoothness’ of the behaviour of the chrono sweep second? The 321 moves in a more step-like manner whereas the 861 is more smooth.

You can listen to the movement and easily distinguish if it’s beating 18000 or 21600 vph.
The question was about eventual visual differences - I assumed, on photographs.

You can also do a slow-mo iPhone video capture, and count the chrono ticks per second to distinguish the difference 👍

·Interesting watch listed on ebay for a couple of months already : https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.ch/ulk/itm/233521994984
25M serial which could be an early 145.006 indeed. The case is quite heavily polished but most intriguing are dial and hands here.
What do you guys think? Assembly? 🙄

I had seen it and thought exactly the same.

··LemaniacI posted info on my Lemania version (ref 9655) of the Omega 145.006/016 earlier in this thread. I had it sent over to @Mitka for a service, and thought I share some more pictures and links:

·Interesting mesh bracelet, indeed 👍 I like how the end parts fill the space between the lugs.
Regarding the watch itself, I would say the chrono hand is not correct, though. IMO it's a common replacement part and I don't believe this to be original on this ref.
