·Depends on the model though...
How much would you rate a 37,5 mm chronometer then? north 10K??
My friend generally sells immaculate jumbo 30T2s for around €2000+
Let's see some 30mm manual wind omegas

Look I love the 30 mm Omega caliber ... but when you get north of 10k .... there are alot of other really cool movements that are also available.
But that is just me.....
I personally love all the Steel Screwback models. !!!
On another note, I am going to use a Omega steel screwback case to recase a old AP with a VZASC movement... once done will post !! aka the Ugly AP... but it will be cool !!
Good Hunting

Is this the movement you posted a couple years back that had been left in the solution too long? If so, I rather like the aesthetic of that one and it would look cool as a fully operating movement again. Like with old cars, it's a "survivor" piece, maintained mechanically but untouched cosmetically.

·You know what might be a fun little alteration to really suit this funky project watch? A slight adjustment to the white-out one arm of the "U" in Piguet, therefore becoming the "Audemars Piglet"!
This made my evening, thank you for posting these!

·I just realized that I haven't contributed to this thread with my humble 30mm collection.
Haven't worn them for a while, so some of you might recognize some of the pics...
All 37,5mm except for the last one, which is only 36mm.
30T1
30T2
and two 265

This 50's style logo and indices are some of the best looking to me, and I've wondered if they are pressed from the backside rather than actually applied, can you confirm? I normally hate how pressed dial details look, but for some reason this just works, especially the logo.

@OmegaP99 This question inspired me to take out a loupe and make a close examination of the Omega logo and the indices on the CK2505. I had always presumed they were applied, but after a lengthy examination and comparison to some mid-60s Constellations that definitely have AMLs, I agree with your theory that the logo and indices are indeed stamped. Interestingly, the dial surface must have been given some sort of lacquer or other coating that the stamped/raised portions were not given as they've aged differently. The indices/raised Omega logo all have some very subtle pitting/corrosion on them that the dial does not. This pitting/corrosion gives them a faint copper color that contrasts harmoniously with the silver dial.
