Hi all,

I need your expertise. I’m looking into buying my first vintage Omega. I tracked this one down within my budget. I don’t mind the repainted dial or the engraving. It’s advertised at 38mm but I can’t track down the reference 2495-12 as a 38. From what I can see that reference is usually 33/34mm.

Does this watch seem authentic to you folks?

I’d be so grateful for your guidance. I don’t want to make the wrong buy.

Given the size of the movement inside the case, it doesn't look like a jumbo.

38mm? "Mumbo jumbo" has never been a more appropriate response. 😁

Maybe it's 38mm measured including the crown? But as @Dan S pointed out, the movement picture gives it away.

Not particularly relevant anymore, but the buckle is a cheap fake.

Thanks so much! I dodged a bullet 😀
