·Hi all,
Today I bought this Omega on a flea market for €15: for that kind of money it’s worth a gamble!
Once home, I opened the case back and discovered a 285 movement and an 18,711,xxx serial number, which dates it back to 1961 according to Chuck Maddox.
The movement seems in decent condition, even though it doesn’t run well. I thought I’d post it here, because the dial raises some questions for me: there’s no ‘Swiss made’ text at 6 for instance. Otherwise the dial looks OK, with the signs of wear you’d expect. The plexi is in terrible condition though—which really shows in the photo below.
I look forward to hearing from you guys!
