Hello everybody
I am new to this forum. I have been collecting vintage watches for 2 years, mainly omegas.

Can anybody please tell menabout this ebay offer:
What is the referencence?
Is the dial original?
Are the hands original?

Thank you very much!

Serial number on the movement dates back to 1939-40, what's the diameter of the case? Anyway reference could be an early 2181 but dial looks repainted to me and hands wrong.

reference could be an early 2181

Impossible because this watch is far too small - 2181 is much larger!

Thanks for your help. I estimate it to be around 32mm. Why do you think it is a redial?

That case is seen on British military watches, 6B/159 and HS8, and the movement serial number would be in range for that too. So, it could be a former military watch disposed of through surplus with a replacement dial. Hands are not very pleasant. Is there anything on the outside of the case back?
