The 'O' is a direction indicator for the assembler, showing how the rotor should move...

Did they do a smiley face for bumper rotors? 😀

No, I believe it was just the upper half of the face of a person wearing a yamaka.

I agree.

So clearly this one is not for an Omega then, even though it has "Omega" written on it?



The "O" standing for Omega is the scenario that makes the least sense to me, because it already has Omega written on it.

In the past, this has been called an identification for a replacement rotor. Not sure that I've seen anything official confirming this, but replacement rotors do come with this circle when ordered new from Omega.
Contact Omega and find out.

I agree.

Curious, what's the rationale behind the 'I agree' comment, could you expand on this please. Thanks.

This is why I don't wear mechanical watches. First, I rarely wear the same watch every day, so I would be constantly resetting them. Second, they require servicing. I wear Bulova, but would not turn my nose up about an Omega Presidential. If I ever bought a mechanical watch, it would be gold, and an Omega.

My 1961 Spaceview, 14k, is still humming away 58 years later. F#. I wear it frequently, and battery change is a snap. It has only been touched by a jeweler once, when they changed from Mercury batteries. It lives in it's original boxes, and has been to Antiques Roadshow. Other than that, it's completely original. The reason I wear Bulova is for the styles. I can have 10 high end Bulova, for one Omega. they are stunning, but I can't rationalize parking $10,000 on my wrist.

Yes. I worked at a pawn shop in college. We had one come in. It was stunning.

Every piece of an Omega watch is marked.

Seriously, when you are brand new to a forum it is always a good idea to take a little time reading -- which will help you figure out who some of the most knowledgeable people on that forum may be.

I believe “accutronjim” is just a troll account. Somebody got drunk and decided to be “funny”. I could be wrong, but it seems more likely than someone insisting they saw an “omega presidential” for sale at a pawn shop when they were in college.
