A recent acquisition that I’m looking to sell to fund the purchase of a grail watch (Hamilton K-475). The watch was purchased from the original owner's daughter.

Solid 18k gold case with fancy lug covers that is in very nice, well preserved condition - fairly certain this case is rose gold.

Dial is in very nice condition with some light spotting. Original dauphine hands.

Inside is a 17 jewel chronometer rated cal. 354 bumper movement (possibly a 28.10 RA SC-354 based a similar reference in AJTT). Serviced by my local watchmaker in September - I don’t have a receipt but you can see the watchmaker mark on the inside of the case “9 18 P”.

SN: 13,xxx,xxx - dating the watch to ~1953

Reference: OT 14.327

Original Omega signed crown.

Very nicely sized at 35mm without the crown.

Watch and I are located in Vancouver, BC.

Price: $3150 USD + shipping at cost.

Returns only if grossly misrepresented.

Beautiful lugs on that 354, the 28.10's all had exposed springs, I believe.
Glwts.

The reference to the 28.10 movement was based on the attached photo from AJTT, which features a similar model with the same lug covers. The pictured model had a 28.10 RA 354-SC according to AJTT.

Dial looks much nicer and warmer in those photos. Lovely watch, alas finances don't permit!

Thanks @Edward53 - it’s hard to capture the beauty of the watch. My initial photos definitely didn’t do it justice.
