A Beatle's Omega?

According to a blog article I just read (don't take this as an endorsement of accuracy), London session drummer Jimmie Nicol spent 13 days performing with the Beatles during the height of Beatlemania in 1964 as an emergency replacement for Ringo Starr, who had tonsillitis and had collapsed on stage during a performance, and as a token of their appreciation, the Beatles gave him this gold Omega watch.

I don't know how accurate the rest of the story is, but without bothering to look it up, this reference looks like something from the early 1950s or even late 1940s, not 1964, with an incorrect replacement crown, no less. I'm just posting this for entertainment purposes, though I'm sure many of you could quickly identify the model, if not this particular photograph.

So much for BS blogs, not that Wikipedia is rock-solid accurate. The one I posted looks circa 1949 to me, with replacement crown and hands, and yes, a nicely-refinished dial. I've seen that dial and that case (though not in pink gold) before, though not on the same watch. So the whole thing could be a hodge-podge. Sigh.

Here's another example with what looks like the same or very similar dial, ref. 2609 from 1949 in 18 kt gold. The "A" in Omega has a flat top, which seems right for this dial. Hands and crown look right too, from what I've seen in other examples. And the hour markers look better aligned with the minute register than in the supposed Jimmie Nicol watch. But this dial definitely comes from the 1949-50 period, as does the case of the blog watch, which I've seen before but can't find at the moment. So no way that is the Jimmie Nicol watch, regardless of whether Wikipedia is correct. rect.
