    I will show this off more when it comes back from service but this is the reason I've been selling off so much in the last few months

    It's a 'larger' 35mm ex crown French 18K case 30T2RG sector dial! To say I'm pleased is an understatement

    A lot had to go to fund it

    Wow it's a beautiful one ! I suppose the movement just needs a little service ?

    Lol, thanks Erich, well every mm counts doesn't it ;) I guess 35mm is bigger than the usual 33mm and it sure wears large, but that could be my skinny lady wrist

    I will PM you separately as have agreed parcel to send out to you in the new year

    Thanks for the nice comment , that's lofty praise from such a 30mm officanado as you :thumbsup:

    Stunning

    I've wanted a 30T2RG for a long time, this one came up through a fellow forum member and although the timing was pants, how could I turn it down? I've sold a lot of pieces of late to get my 30T2RG and my Dennison Deluxe and I'm delighted with both

    Love the size and the feel of the watch, the weight of the 18K case is substantial and the dial is beautiful.

    It's currently with John Senior having a movement overhaul at which point I will put it on a proper croc band with period gold buckle and then I will get some better pics

    The dial is out of this world, has a mirror texture in the right like and other than a few age spots feels like it's just left the factory

    I saw this one too, looks lovely but I also questioned the dial as the print seem off, especially the omega logo. I would defer judgement to the experts and welcome their feedback

    Yes the logo, alignment of numbers, shape, etc., all appear off.

    I thought as much, it's a great dial restoration though! Looks very close to the original

    @Tom Dick : Your dial is really stunning !!
    Mine has a serial number on movement very close : 10337976
    Do you think my dial was identical to yours before a discoloration or it may have had small variations about dial, notably the color of the numbers ?

    To answer your question:

    Your dial is fully original as it is - your numbers seem to be "mirrored" = glossy metal - aren´t they?
