·Here are a couple of quick close-ups as requested. The texture on the monochromatic Honeycomb is incredible in person, and the early error-printing on the Pie-Pan dial (without the grave accent on Chronometre) is a fascinating piece of Omega history. Just sharing some crisp 1950s details with fellow enthusiasts!

·Hi everyone,
Thank you so much for your keen observations and your vigilance! I am truly grateful for your input—this is exactly why these forums are so valuable for fellow enthusiasts.
However, there is a simple explanation for the confusion here. Both watches are 100% complete, fully functional automatic timepieces with their factory-original rotors intact. The photos showing the movements without the oscillating weights were taken by the watchmaker mid-service purely to document and verify the caliber stamps and serial numbers on the underlying bridges.
Once the overhaul was finished, the original rotors were fully reassembled. Both watches self-wind perfectly from wrist movement and run beautifully on the Witschi timegrapher.
Thank you again for looking out for the integrity of these pieces! I will update the pictures with the complete movements mounted to clear up any confusion caused by the workshop photos.
Best regards!

·hello kazd here, they are truly awesome watches so enjoy,
Thank you so much for your expert observation! I really appreciate it, and I've already added a note to all my listings to clear up the confusion.
These pieces are truly special. Honestly, I've decided to take them off the market altogether. They deserve to be kept in the family and passed down to my children, as their value will only grow over time.
Thanks again and all the best

·Movement photos without the rotor were taken during service strictly to verify the original serial number (15175623) and caliber stamps, which are normally hidden.
By the way, on one of the Connies above - the one with the 3-6-9-12 numerals, lume dots on the 7 and 10 indices, the 3-star medallion and the 60s BoR - you write in your description:
I‘d be curious to learn where you got that from. Can’t find many accents on the writing of my 2852s.
