Hey all.

wanted a second, or third, or fourth opinion.

How about this Omega? Recent acquisition

1943 (9.81 million) Omega 17 jewel 30T2 Rg.

Case reference 2364

Needed a balance staff....Now its fully serviced... maybe the reason it was preserved so nicely?

Case shows almost no use. (stainless steel) and is 33mm across w/o crown

 

are you 100% certain? haven't you seen other early early 30T2 RG chronometers without it written on the dial and no adjusted 5 positions and temp?

 

like before they actually started certifying them via COSC standards they weren't required to have the chronometer on the dial and the adjustments marked on the movement.

 

thank you also for the input!

 

i have an omega with that mvt.. as i recall it has a broad arrow on the mvt.. ill try to find it.

 

which dial would you say was original for the 2364 reference?

 

so the hands are not original also? they probably got moved with the newer dial?

 

You can see how they have lapped and polished the case by the caseback edge still having older deep scratches.

 

Sorry to be late to the party due to time difference...

As others have already stated: dial is absolutely wrong on this watch. And case has been worked on for sure.

It can´t be told which dial would have sat in this watch initially as there has been a wide variety of dials in use on the chronometers those days...

sorry to be a bearer of bad news

case has been worked on? like more then being polished? at least the early case reference and movement serial number are close, so likely at least the case and movement are likely original? or due to the dial and hands being changed its hard to tell?

thank you everyone for helping me

 

so at this point would a redial be worse then waiting for a used 30mm chronometer dial to become available ? I also need to search for some hands it looks like. I need to get this watch back to how it originally was, or as close as I can get it

 

please clarify
