·You know what, I found a perfect donor 14381/2. Listed for 2600 currently. It even has the original 18k buckle! I saw people listing these 18k buckle alone for 600+!
But I don't think I'll swap the case for now. I really like the patina on this case.

··yoloMy father received the watch today. He is certainly not good at taking pictures. Comment from my father was "This watch should worth about 1000 RMB". I guess it will take another couple of weeks for me to receive the watch when some of my friends travel to Singapore... The case is indeed heavily polished.

·Beautiful watch, it kind of gives it a “tuxedo dial” feeling. Great catch, and price is definitely good even with such a polished case. I might consider a trip to Shanghai after reading all your recent threads 😁

··Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.Congrats. I really love the overall look. Get it serviced and relax about the crown. That dial is a beauty.

··ΩF InvestiGator…and then does it mean the dial is not solid gold?
Only way to know for sure would be to remove the dial and look for a gold hallmark on the back.

··yoloMy guess is that the dial would not be solid gold. Generally, solid gold dials would not be painted, although there are always exceptions.

Interesting that the gold-cap version has the OXG mark on the movt, indicating it was destined for the US market, through Morris.
Which kind of blows my theory that these dials were specials only meant for the eastern market.
@cqing 's watch also has a similar designation but I can't quite make out the last letter - it doesn't look like a G, more like the remnants of an R
I'm sure this has been discussed somewhere along the line but did any other country require Omega to use a 3-letter import code or did omega have another importer to the US at the same time as Norman Morris?

@cqing 's watch
interesting also that the Ebay watch appears to have an original (or at least vintage) thin scalloped crown that is often seen on US-destined constellations of the era.
