    AJTT did not bring me anything close (bad sign). Diameter is 38mm or so. Could not open it so no info on movement. My guess: (if real) a local made case with original Omega movement. Dial bit of a question mark but most likely redone. Due to the 'swiss made' I'd assume UK or USA. Any input? IMG-4067.JPG IMG-4069.JPG IMG-4063.JPG

    Dial looks original to me based on the pics.
    18K could be a US made case.
    In that case, @X350 XJR may have an answer?

    +1 I second Jim concerning the dial

    Not sure about the case - for sure it is not original Omega - looks like a SA contract case (Argentina??)

    no, not a cal. 283 because this would be a centre second version...

    I suppose cal. 30 T2 or a later member of the cal. 30 movement family like 265, 266,...

    Mark, you obviously did not read my book - go and do your homework :) :whipped:

    Looks South American to me. US Omega cases are almost always 14K gold and made by Norman Morris approved makers, Ross, Wadsworth, etc.

    Maybe a Spanish case. Fixed bars, solid lugs.
    Cal 265-266
