It has a 38 mm honeycomb dial, rose gold. Would not mind some advice on how to take better pictures as the depth of the dial is not coming through very clearly.

 

Does your camera have a macro setting (a small flower)? That will allow you to focus in much closer.

 

............or you could back off the camera a few inches from the watch. You are inside the focus range. You can then crop out whatever you don't want us to see

 

You can see in the first picture that the side of the watch that is furthest from the camera is in focus. Not sure what camera/lens combination you are using, but you are too close to the object. As others have stated, try moving back. If you can manually control the aperture then try closing it to increase the DoF.

 

Even without focus it looks like a redial

 

Appreciate the reply...Ill try again on the pics. Taking it to place called Jackmond for an appraisal as they specialize in vintage Omega's so fingers crossed.

 

+1

 

Hopefully not let's see the focused pics first.

 

I don't need to, look at the second hand and markers...just to point one...

 

OK mystery solved and by one of the best in the business. Brought it in to Jackmond in California.....

Original dial, base, hands and movement. Dial has most likely been cleaned...maybe repainted but could not tell under the loupe. These large models were typically cased in South America but all original Omega. Came in two dial variations one with honeycomb dial.

No Gator its cool...gotta learn and why I asked right! I just have to go with top vintage guy on the subject though in this case at least. If you love Omega you have to visit the store. It is insane with 50+ of vintage Omega on display. Yes I did see those ones you mentioned.

Here for example:

Desk research turned up variations you stated....so had to go deeper. I used to collect vintage Rolex before fakes and cost drove me out of that type of collecting. Rarely but sometimes you can find variations. From what I was told this is the case. Next step is talk someone at Omega.

 

I don't want to sound critical of your expert, but I am going to second Gator CPA's comment. The dial on your watch is most probably refinished. It is missing the minute indices and the "Swiss Made" at the bottom. South American market watches were cased in locally produced cases, but AFAIK the movements, dial, etc were Swiss production and would be marked as such.

 

No I think this is all useful and valuable info! Does not mean that variants do not exist and are not in fact original. Especially because of the quality control and supply practices in the past.

Just for reference if you care about where I got my info.

Not being critical either just if i have to take opinions and historical info. Connected me with Omega historian so I can get all the straight info. Appreciate the input.

 

Didn't know that his loupe was not as clear as your blurry pictures. Did you speak to Jack personally? He may have been polite (perhaps, since you didn't intend to sell to him).

 

Hmmm all possible but I did leave w something so maybe that had more to do with it! I did get an offer for mine though. Old age I guess.

 

There are many variants, practically for every model. However, even these variants will follow some rules.

Regarding Jackmond, I am sure he is quite knowledgeable. However, many of the members on this forum (I am excluding myself from this category) have probably examined as many watch as he has and have just as much expertise. And remember - if you ask 2 Omega experts you will probably get 3 different opinions…

 

Exactly.......that was my learning collecting Rolex for many years. There is conflicting information available about whether something actually exists or not. I did get some good info here so thats cool.

 

Was the offer more than the scrap gold value?
