I've only seen a small handful of these in my time and none in as good condition as mine 馃ぃ馃ぃ

Just how rare are these dials? Its a 1953, 14k gold filled, Ref. KM6292, Cal.354.

I was thinking about clearing this one out what would.be a reasonable price for one of these?

Reasonably uncommon but that鈥檚 against a backdrop of Omega making a large variety of different dial designs in small numbers for this ref, so it鈥檚 not uncommon to see an uncommon dial

Do you have a photo of movement? This reference from 1960s usually has cal 563 movement which is later than 354 from 50s. And I don鈥檛 think cal 354 has date.

Don鈥檛 believe this should have a cal 354. Nonetheless, the dial is pretty uncommon and really nice!

More like 1963, and probably had a cal. 560 (US market 17 jewel movement).

I don't think there are any records or statistics on the numbers of specific dials that were produced. Certainly it's not one of the most common variants. But as we often say, rarity doesn't always correlate strongly with value. Obviously, the US gold-filled case is going to hurt the watch, so it all needs to be balanced. Many collectors don't touch gold-filled/plated watches.

If you don't know how much to ask, an eBay auction might be your best bet. Otherwise, do some research and make an educated guess.

If you're planning on selling will need a watchmaker to open and find out what you have inside. Its a front loading case so special technique and tools needed to open.

Did prior seller provide that movement photo?
