I purchased this 1947 automatic after researching the seller but now re-looking at the pictures I think I might have been duped
Just wondering if anyone can confirm...

Thank you

 

The movement is a real omega but the dial seems like it's refinished.

 

hello, the dial is reprint, but the movement is original if you like show me the back side of the case (inside),regards

 

It looks authentic, perhaps a ref 2446. Bad redial. Post a pic of the inside caseback if you can.

 

A redial for sure. They badly missed when they applied the track.

 

Is the movement actually an automatic?

 

Sorry what? 300+ posts, what have you been reading.

 

it's a bumper movement, so yes automatic

 

Why do you think that?

 

Is it missing the bumper springs???

 

Modern watch guy, with a developing interest in vintage, so pardon my ignorance. I've got over 1000 posts at WUS and I sometimes ask dumb questions there too. My view is you are never too experienced or old to ask questions, nor to make polite responses to those that do.

Edit: I'm now fascinated to know what your post said before you edited it.

 

Thank you.

On a 351 the springs are hidden under the hammer bridge, not exposed like a 350 which is probably what you were thinking of.

 

No, the bumper springs are hidden below the bridge under the serial number.

 

Probably he was mistaken with the caliber 28.10 or 31.10 that has the springs in view

 

Yes.

Open springs were on 330, 331, 340, 341, 350.
Hidden springs were on 332, 333, 342, 343, 344,351, 352, 353, 354, 355.

 

Perhaps he was being facetious?

 

If I recall the springs are kind of tuck in under that bridge and the the tapered part of the oscillating rotor slides under. I just worked on a 354 a few months ago and i don't think they were visible. It looks like there is some makeshift movement clamp there. There is something by the lower right lug or upper left in the picture- it kind of looks like a makeshift spring.

 

Perhaps he was; however, let's move on - I have [emoji3]
