I love the patina, apparently it runs great, and all the parts are original. Does 650 sound like a decent price?

 

In which currency? If it's in yen I'd say jump on it with confidence.

 

Hah, USD.

 

Gorgeous watch, I can see why you want it.
I hear parts are getting hard to source for bumpers.
"Run's great" in an advert means "doesn't stop instantly" from what I've seen.

I wouldn't pay that for it, but that's just me.

 

I think if you like the patina, it's a fair price. But I can see the cracks on the dial. Makes servicing a lot more dangerous.

You gotta keep that in mind.

 

Same dial here, Fab Suisse put the watch to French Market
I've bought it last year from this forum for around US$450 if I remember correctly

My second hand is probably wrong as too long .
IMO crown and hands on OP's watch seems to be wrong (hands too thick for the fine printed indexes)

 

Hmm, he mentions they are the original hands. Full description:

This is a wonderful piece! It's a hard to find ref 2421/1 in fantastic all original condition! The watch is powered by an early bumper automatic cal 28.10 RA SC PC from 1945. The original dial is in excellent condition, with heavy patina. Roman numerals. This is a French market watch, which is why there's an extra line with 'Fab Suisse' on the dial. The hands are original as well as the magnificent and hard to find hexagon Omega crown. The case is in excellent condition. Service history unknown, but the watch works perfectly and keeps good time. It has very nice wrist presence, especially for its age, measuring 35mm diameter without crown, and 43mm from lug to lug. Comes on a brand new ostrich leather strap

 

I'll echo the "wrong hands" sentiment. They look completely wrong and would annoy me endlessly, were it my watch!

EDIT: and the crown is, naturally, from a Constellation and wrong as well.

 

Hi guys,

I have the opportunity to buy this, same ref as the above mentioned. No history of service. How does the movement look?
It looks good for a $500 pop to me. Thoughts?

Thanks alot,
Emilien
