hay experts, I’ve got a omega 30t2 months ago
But I can’t find the reference, if you know please let me know. In the other hand I want an opinion about the numerals there, do you like them?
Should I make a redial?
I thinks there is a little part missing in the hour hand. The crown of course is not the original one, I am still looking for it. What doy you think about the movement? It is very clear right?

I can't help out with reference # but oh man I would not touch that dial as that watch is beautiful.

Hmmm...that has a lot of character imo. Dial looks interesting, as do the hands (are they all blued or just the sub second?) It is, and please correct me if I'm wrong, the Cal.260 version, as opposed to the 17 jewel 280 version. Serial on movement suggests WWII era watch, mine is circa '44/'45 on a 10.4m. What is the 8 digit serial on the case back though? And I thought most of these 30T2's from this era were Dennison cases? Nice to see one with Omega engraving, though might not be original to the watch I suppose? Re the dial, yes there is heavy patina (damage?) around the 12 o'clock, but if it were me, no I would not refinish / redial, would instantly lose the best part of 80 years of history/character. But each to their own...

Thanks for answering, and yes, all the hands are blued. About the 8number on the case I would know, I am asking for help there.

@skipper :

I don´t understand your question: you gave the answer yourself, it is the case serial# no more no less

And I thought most of these 30T2's from this era were Dennison cases? Nice to see one with Omega engraving, though might not be original to the watch I suppose?

edited: this is wrong, there are Dennison cases besides the original swiss cases

mac_omega... are you always so obtuse, or did you just get out of bed the wrong side today? These were my thoughts / observations / questions, hence the liberal use of question marks. I regard any thread like this as an opportunity for not just the OP but all of the less experienced enthusiasts on here, such as myself, to broaden their knowledge on the subject / example in question. Perhaps, in your opinion, only the marque experts should be allowed to comment / ask questions, then in theory you wouldn't ever be exposed to anymore 'nonsense'...???

please don´t be so sensible - but I apologise for the word "nonsense", was a bit harsh I admit... so I will edit/remove this expression

But if you had done only a bit of your homework you would not have to ask questions like these
