Hi all,
Would be interested in views on this? All original? What do you think of the dial? How could it be cleaned up? Value?
The case number and caliber number match on the omega database, movement looks in reasonable nick.
Thanks all

 

Hi CO

Hands look too long to me

 

But otherwise?

 

crown is wrong also

 

Another one of Hoi's favorite critiques, but I agree with him. The minute hand should not be longer than the second hand and it should not over extend the minute/second track. Bob found another minor fault in the replacement crown. I'd add that the movement has been cleaned in too strong of a solution. The copper plating is wearing off unevenly. Overall a nice watch at $375 or less, and personally I'd only go $320-ish and take a chance that the dial would clean up with a dip or two.

 

you should agree with me everytime Dennis

 

Most times I do.

 

As long as they don't go over the minute track, Ash

 

Thanks all. Kind of reminds me of the sketch from Life of Brian,
REG: All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?
XERXES: Brought peace.
REG: Oh. Peace? Shut up!

 

It ended at $204, with the reserve not having been met.

What do you dip in?

 

I don't do the dipping, but several guys use a 50/50 solution of Haggerty's Jewelry cleaner and Tarn-X then rinse with distilled water. It's a fine line between cleaning off dirt and removing ink.

 

Diluted lemon juice has also been discussed as a good alternative.
