Hello

I ran across this watch. The seller doesn't disclose much information about the in the listing. Given the age of the watch I assume this must be a redial.

I'm also not really sure what model this watch is...

 

If it's a redial it's a damned good one...

 

Probably a redial. Not because it's clean overall, but due to the slightly messy 49 minute marker.

Wow .. that is one hell of a well executed redial.

 

What reference would this be anyway? Not sure if I've ever seen a two register Omega chronograph quite like this one. Looks like a Carrera.

 

Pre 321 27 Chro movement perhaps. Menta has one for sale now.

 

I have no idea what reference it is either... I've got an upcoming trip to Europe and this is for sale in a local shop. I kinda assumed it was a redial due to overall condition but it seems it's possible it's not a redial?

The only information listed is that it is a caliber 320. The case is 35mm.

Where's the "49 minute marker"? I can't find it ?

 

Little blob of ink on the marker.

 

If that's ink. Could be something else.

If the OP is going there anyway I say "take a loupe."

 

It is very good but I think it's a redial. The flight of the arrow is all in one piece; there should be several separate "feathers".

 

I am going there this week for sure... I have a work trip and I'll have time to stop into this shop.

They have a few other interesting pieces as well.

If this isn't a redial what do you think the value is?

Minute marker just after the minute hand

Time is currently 1:48 on the dial. Next minute

OP needs to see the case and rest of Watch. Was this in a sock drawer? Safe? In my short tenure I have seen really clean dials first accused of being redial then proved originals. This one is a puzzle.

 

This is a lovely looking watch but there are some very odd discrepancies
as Edward says - the arrow should probably be feathered (see my 2782 below)
the tacky numbers are serifed as they should be - except for the 6s and 9s
the two sub-dial numbers are in different fonts - one serifed the other not
-and the right hand sub-dial numbers aren't horizontal and level with the left one, as they should be

still a damned good job

 

I would say it's a redone. Though scary good and very convincing at first sight...

 

Bring me the guy who is capable to do such a redial!

IMHO it is a legit original dial and is consistent with the rest of the watch (as far it can be seen) - see the sharp edges on the lugs.
This does not look like an abused watch which had been redialed...

just my 2 cents

 

Love a good dial debate! Looking forward to a definitive verdict.

 

Redial.

 

looks good can you get more importantly a movement picture? also be aware if its a ref 2077-1 these are being faked somewhere but pretty well
