Pictures where removed of a watch claimed to be in hand, while another user claims to have seen the same watch traveling around Omega Boutiques.

:edit: there is nothing nefarious going on. I understand the issue. I apologize if this post is inflammatory in any way.

 

Yeah, it gets really confusing when you are presented more than one alternative fact

 

Poor form @thatonewatchdude to remove pictures from a thread after members have supplied some of the info you requested.

I was avoiding commenting on the watch itself but I think it was meant to be 2915-1/2. However it had a later dial with little/no lume (I think from a 105.002), and modern service hands and bezel.

 

Yeah, it's not the cleanest 2915 ever - was kind of shocked that the Museum had provided it.

To possibly defend the OP, he was specifically asking about the crest that was on the bottom of the bracelet clasp. That's why I was asking about his intention / motive behind the thread (since it's clearly not to sell or buy the watch).

 

I saw the Death Star screaming for help, and I assumed that an X-Wing and Corellian Freighter were involved somehow...

 

Here are is the pic with of the mystery crest-emblem in question.
Top one is me part through edit, 2nd is original. Sadly i didn't take one of the watch. Instead I have two copies of the buckle...


So much for being helpful I suppose.

P

 

Reading it through again @oddboy has the inside track on this.. This is not the user you are looking for. Or behaviour when people give their time to help.

 

That particular "2915" was discussed in another thread: https://omegaforums.net/threads/ome...-300-speedmaster’57.55120/page-51#post-713932

 

The crown on the buckle looks a lot like Egyptian king's crown. In most European countries the device on the top is either a tassle or a cross or a cross on an orb or some such, but on this it's a star above a crescent moon. Possibly some other country from the former Ottoman Empire?

 

No wonder Im always figting my phone for storage space. It suck in the entire university as it if it's the black hole of storage... No further adue here the others/dark side of the moon - watch.

Posted in the spirit of right to reply and for completeness of the thread.

 

Ill give you £1000 on a whim.. (for the mystery watch)

 

I was going to answer when he first posted but my response would have likely run him off sooner.

 

What is holding the crest on? Super glue?
I thinks that is a sword not a key. The S appears to be a serpent.

 

It's not. I found a similar S on an Egyptian military insignia.

 

It looks to be a royal cipher from an Islamic country. It's a shot in the dark, but possibly Sultan Iskandar (S and I intertwined) of Johor in Malaysia? Can't find anything on the web, but here's the crown of Johor

 

It is definitely an S, but I think it is a snake too.

 

Unlikely to be a snake. Royal ciphers are almost always made up of a crown and the initials of the royal. Below is Queen Victoria's (Victoria Regina)

 

I was nearly right. It is the personal cipher of Sultan Ibrahim of Johor. Here's a link to a couple of watches which also have his cipher on them...

Anyway i'm off to 3D print some of these and stick them onto my re-dial over polished day dates as my next eBay fraudery project see YOU sirs when every third listing on eBay is a saudi princes watch!
