    Hi all!
    Im considering buying a odd lot from a closed down watchmaker. The price is a steal so Im probably going to buy it anyway, but I hope you guys could help me with one of the watches.
    As you can see the pictures I got are terrible and I dont have much information.
    This is what I got:
    - Dennison silver case, from the hallmarks it dates to 1941
    - Its said to hold a 30T2-movement, serial number unknown
    - The case size seems to be about 35-36mm. That seems large for the time period.
    - The dial is a bit generic for my taste and from what I can see it doesnt have the same finesse Im used to with Omega.
    - The "Swiss" or "Swiss made" are missing on the dial.
    - As you can see the hands and crystal are missing. Either the second hand is unoriginal or the dial repainted as they dont go together.

    Im still not familiar enough with the early Omegas, so Im counting on the assistance of you guys.
    What do you think?

    I hope to upload better pictures tomorrow.

    Not original.

    The sub-second hand, among other things, is a dead give-away.

    Thanks!
    As mentioned I saw the sub second hand but werent sure if the hand itself are original or the dial was.
    I suspected that this was a redail and now I have my answer
    Ill inspect the movement tomorrow. At least the watch could be good for parts.
