·Hey y’all! I purchased a bumper last night that is a bit unique from anything else I’m seeing for sale from the era. Specifically, the case back has a Wadsworth inscription over the Omega and a (presumably) model ID of I-6230? Any thoughts as to the reference number or is it just referred to by the movement?
Second question, the dial looks pretty different from any other ‘47 I’m finding online. Specifically, it appears to have a metal Omega badge and a 6 at the 6 o’clock under the seconds subdial. I’ve seen dials with all Arabic numerals, and ones with just the 12, but not one with the 12 and 6, and also the closer minute thatching. Is this original?
Photos are from the eBay listing.. I can post better when I take receipt next week. I purchased with the intent to restore, so the broken stem and loose movement have both been noted.
