Hey everyone, long time lurker here.

I just purchased a new to me AT 2500 ref 2803.30.31 which should arrive this Wednesday.

Can anyone give me more info on this model? From what I've gathered it has the following traits but I could be mistaken.

Diameter: 39.2mm
Lug Width: 19mm
Case: Stainless
Movement: 2500 (a, b, c, ?)
Bezel: Plain
Dial: Silver
Bracelet: Stainless

Additionally if anyone has suggestion on leather straps that won't break the bank it'd appreciate it.

Below are pics from the seller.

Thanks in advance.


Edit: Does anyone know how to determine which 2500 movement I have eg A B C D?

 

Isn't this a 2503.30? The 2nd digit of "5" usually refers to metal bracelet, "8" to a leather strap

I was confused about that myself but if you look at the warranty card in the second pic it shows the ref #.

Maybe the original owner installed a stainless bracelet after purchase...idk.

 

I have the 2503.80 I recently purchased myself from a seller on the forum. I love mine so far...very versatile watch. When looking at mine I found this discussion on WUS which on the first page the OP had multiple combos of straps. Might give you an idea of what to look for:

And here is a wrist shot of mine I took last week when I came in:


I like it so much I'm seriously considering tracking down the white with blue hands. If you find some good options let me know as I'd be interested in purchasing a few myself.

Btw mine is 2500c.

 

Thanks for the link, those are some nice pics in there.

I'm confused though...I believe the 2500 has 19mm lugs and the 8500 has 20mm, is this correct?

I keep finding conflicting info when I search the web.

 

The 28033031 has 20 mm lugs, not 19.

Cheers, Al

 

Al you're awesome! I spent hours last night trolling for straps and couldn't figure out why I couldn't find anything that fit.

 

It has arrived... The proverbial wrist shot!

 

Looks great...man I really love the 2503 series ATs. Really can't go wrong no matter the dial/marker color combo.

 

Thank you!

I've always wanted an Omega and this is my first.

 

Does anyone know how to determine which 2500 movement I have eg A B C D?

 

PM me the full serial number...

 

its a 2500 D

 

PM sent

 

Really? How can you tell?

Thanks!

 

Unfortunately the Extranet does not identify the version of movement for the serial number you gave me. Although many believe this can be done by fonts on date wheels and other methods, I have been asked to change date wheels before from the "C" version to the "D" version, so I do not consider that a 100% reliable method. In this case since you have a display back on the watch, you should be able to pull the crown out to hack the movement and see what is written on the main plate right under the balance. There it will tell you the letter version of the movement. You will need a loupe.

Cheers, Al

 

Do you have a picture of what I should be looking for? Oh & thanks for the help!

 

Of course yours will be an assembled movement, and in the case, but the caliber is stamped right here:



Cheers, Al

 

The pics are being down rez'd when I PM them, can you send me your email?

 

just from searching the reference #, according to 2803.30.31 it is a 2500 D
