路Here is one I just bought from a seller here.
Two separate watchmakers and I agree it's original. 30T2 PC movement. 11/16" lugs, it seems. Sure isn't 18mm!
Timekeeping is, alas, not its strong suit. My local watchmaker is servicing for $500 plus parts, because I care about timekeeping and that's what a reasonable charge is.
This is the picture on the Omega site:
Gold version but you can't tell from the pic, clearly.
I mostly wanted the pic for the strap. Started looking, and would you believe I found that strap in grey with a steel buckle on eBay? Original Omega? Better than the strap I had.
My watchmaker wanted to get it done before holiday season and he gets busy at the store... so happy to get it sooner rather than later.
The lume, which looks orignal? I can see it when it's completely dark and my eyes are adapted. That's a bonus. 馃榿
The crown, by the way, matches the picture but has an Omega symbol on it. The pic is from 1946, and the watch, by serial, might be 1950. That could account for it.
It also looks like a #11 end link might fit, too, so something to think of. I also have an inexpensive Bonklip type bracelet coming.
Very excited!
