Hard to see.... No lume present. If there are indeed luminous wells ( which I doubt...), They look like filled in with white paint. In comparison to that colour, the minute track and numerals look like painted in silver, which is not correct. Hands period correct. Kind regards. Achim

A 2914-3 would be awesome as I need that sub-reference but I think, based on the hands and lolli, it’s later.

This hand combo i only seen on 2914-3 from 62 ,lolipop was delivered to this ref for Scandinavian market.
If I remember correctly there was one on the last (quality) auction on kaplans.se in November.
Photos are to bad to say anything about the dial but I bumped in to some dials that they removed the radium and filled it whit other materials that looks similar.

Interesting, as I think this hand/lolli combo is usually seen in later sub references, the 2914-6 and the 135004-63.

I think I see luminous wells. What’s in them remains to be seen.

Im traveling at the moment but I try to find photos when I’m back in Sweden.
Believe the lollipops where white and I think I own a later ref whit silver lollipop for American market.
The American one I bought for spare parts and I never asked for extract but movement whit import code.

With no interior pics, I’m hoping that the magnetic cover and spacer (shown with a 2914-4) are intact.

This is a -5 from Kaplan’s in November

The Kaplan’s example has, I believe, an earlier handset. See it below on a 2914-4 Flightmaster FAP and very similar to a 2913-5 Seamster 300 on the left. The lolli type on the Kaplan’s RM is more often seen on a Seamaster 2913.

Lol, It is because of this specific (wonderful looking) Railmaster, that I said this lolli is "usually" seen on Seamasters 😀

The white bubble hand was on the 3 railmasters 2914-3 i found trough the years in scandinavia 2 in Sweden and one in Denmark, one of the watches came from original owner.
if its correct or not i cant say, there was a special relationship between Omega and JP Brandt at this time.
i altso bumped in to some flighmasters that was deliverd to JP Brandt earlier then the FAP watches but extract dosent mention dial but Omega patented the name flightmaster 1957.
