Lately I've been looking at examples of these, and some of them have swiss/swiss made while others do not. I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, but is there a reason why?

Also, any opinions on this one would be appreciated!



Edit: Found my answer to the swiss question, but still would like opinons on the dial!

 

All depends on when the Rg watch was made - the earlier versions did not have swiss or swiss made (from the late 1930s to early 1940s) and the later ones had those words printed. This one on ebay is a nice example and will likely fetch a good price.

 

Sold for a B.I.N. of $2000.

 

I think that's in the ballpark for one with minimally polished case and excellent original dial. Although I'd personally replace the crystal:

 

Seller made a mistake settling for a BIN - that is a very good price for the watch. Buyer may even be a poster here (though I don't know that for a fact).
These watches used to be of special interest for me but now not so much. I will say though that there are some vintage omega collectors who are really passionate about manual wind omegas though for that specialized group they tend not to go after the 33mm versions unless the dial was special (i.e. original so-called scientific dial).

 

Well I ended up being the buyer. For the most part it looks good, but the left lug is just the tiniest amount bent, maybe a fraction of a mm. The right lug also might be a little polished, either that or my eyes are going. It's hard to tell on the wrist, but I'll get some pictures.

 

That's good get Kyle. Glad to see you and seller were able to agree on a price that IMHO is below market.

 

Great find Kyle, I could never find the auction , so I'm still looking for mine

 

Yeah, me either!

Now I know why some of your other prized pieces are leaving.

You did good!

Very cool Kyle I had exactly one of these in mind, that movement looks so cool!

 

Thanks guys! I really like the steel ones too...

Zenith 135 hands down more difficult to find and condition being the same generally more expensive - the exception being the scientific dial Rgs.

 

I'll take the Omega. Can I PM to you my address?

 

Damn, I guess that means I'm stuck with the Zenith
