·Hello, what do you think exactly it might be the issue? Did you have any chance to google the reference and compare it to other examples?
To me nothing seems wrong but I am no expert. Crown looks correct, and if it is a redial, it is a well done one. I don't think it is redialed though.

·The case has two references (quite normal), and this must be the 2925 since the cal. 244 is a no seconds movement and the sc in 2927-2SC would be "seconde centrale". However, the dial has a track of black markers that in my experience is usually on dials that have a seconds hand. My conclusion is therefore that I am not quite sure..

·Interesting. Omega's vintage database shows a picture of CK 2927 with a 244 movement, calls it "center sweep", but the pictured example has no seconds hand.
I'm guessing it's mostly right. Dial does not look obviously refinished.

Where in the database entry do you see the "center sweep"?

"Central sweep‑second hand 17 jewels Created in 1950" when describing the caliber.

I think I see the second hand pinion but no hand. either it's simply missing the hand or it was removed because the gear train driving it is screwed up, which is a dirty trick NYC flea market hawkers do to screwed up watches.

Caliber 244 does not have a seconds function.

Yeah, I figured as much. Like I said, the picture showed no seconds hand.

·The other day I was browsing through an online market and found this:
It is a very unusual gent dress watch in 18k gold measuring 33mm with the exact same caliber 244. Ref. 2780-1.
Those two are the first Omega watches I have seen with no seconds hand and therefore falling into that rigorous dress watch category. The latter being a gentleman's watch bearing a movement that appears to be originally made for a lady's watch.
I thought it was interesting and wanted to leave it as info. I am hoping this is not a franken, but maybe someone more experienced can give more info.
