·Hi,
I recently picked up a vintage Omega off eBay, when I got it there’s a few things I want to ask about. From the reference number it says it’s this https://www.omegawatches.com/watch-omega-de-ville-omega-ba-161-0024. It certainly looks the same but it doesn’t have a second hand and the case is stainless steel. Did some models come with only 2 hands? There’s also no omega symbol on the crown, that doesn’t look to be original though, it’s a different metal to the case.
The Dial itself doesnt have the Omega logo but is a little worn like you can see in the pictures. There’s also a different colour and texture around the writing, is this from someone not cleaning near it to avoid damaging the writing, you can see damage near “automatic” and “Swiss”?
Any ideas where to find more information or advice would be appreciated.
