    Hi fellas.
    Just picked this up pretty cheap and I'll get it to the watchmaker in the next couple weeks. In the meantime any info would be helpful .its a monoque (?) Case, so I can't get to reference numbers or serials till I get it to watchmaker. I've tried searching but having a hard time being sure .Any idea of reference number or year would be great .any other input is appreciated as always .has signed crystal and crown I'm assuming are original 20190317_173835.jpg Image3442316569424994029.jpg Image8125699712178229849.jpg Image6877739393417337632.jpg Image3942305616310773509.jpg Image1655719101708046689.jpg Image9087852674627105761.jpg

    14745 maybe? Early 1960’s.
    It looks original with exception of seconds hand.

    the dial look a bit off to me since the omega logo does not really align with the line (Based on what I know, the line should be right on the middle of the logo). I might be wrong. Maybe someone more expert could explain it. overall, great watch.

    they all seem to be 34mm, or 34.4, while mine is closer to 36( just under but over 35.5 with no callipers) am I just not finding finding enough or would that make it a different reference? is the blued seconds hand definitely not original?
    thanks for the input

    AFAIK all unishell cases containing 500 series movements measure the same around 34.5mm.
    Not convinced the seconds hand is original but never say never with Omega.

    I’m not an expert but the second hand did seem off
