1947 Omega 2474-2 with cal 28.

I've always kinda wanted a birth year watch. Here's one a fellow member has for sale. Thoughts and observations to help an old man (77) acquire a watch as old as I am.

Thanks so much, David


Up for sale is my 1947 Omega 2474-2 with cal 28. This one is fairly uncommon.

The dial: Vertically brushed dial with a very nice handset and blued seconds sweep hand. In most light the dial looks almost mint, but there is spotting throughout and a few marks.

The case: Sharp and unpolished. Original crown. Original crystal was pretty crazed so it was replaced with an older Omega crystal. I will include the original crystal. Measures 33mm with a 17mm lug width.

The movement: A nice cal 28, runs and sets, but service history unknown. This one should be serviced for daily wear.

Asking $1300USD head only including insured shipping worldwide from Vancouver, B.C.
Returns accepted only if grossly misrepresented, international final.
Payment via wise.

Yes, I noticed 33mm Thank you!

Price very high for condition, size and movement

Just my opinion

Thanks for you input, Don. I appreciate it.
