    As stated by the seller - an all-original WW2 era stainless steel Omega cal.30T2 military watch. case. Just serviced! Recently sold in an auction for around USD 300. As the price is always relative, it all comes down to the condition. In my view there are a few things that could be wrong with this one. In particular:

    - the dial: hand-drawn background? relumed numbers? skewed name and logo?
    - the hands: tarnished radium on hour and minute hands? crudely repainted seconds hand?
    - the crystal: just serviced, but with heavily brushed areas?

    - the case: unevenly overpolished? stainless steel with abrasions on the back like chrome plated steel?
    - the movement: missing some jewels?

    Am I being too critical? Am I missing something? What's your view on this watch?

    I see a missing case screw, but no evidence of missing jewels in that photo...

    all jewels there - the one of the pallet fork bridge (cock) is clear (without colour) and not missing (in case you meant this?)

    The dial have been cleaned or redone, the logo and “Omega” look looks like it was made by hand writing

    Tons of dirt in that movement and regulator almost out of range. Needs urgent service. No missing jewel, only a screw.
