    Hi fellow members,

    I just acquired this piece. My watchmaker is unreachable due to the covid-19 situation and I am unable to check the reference as the movement seems sticked to the caseback. Has anyone ever seen this watch before?

    Thanks a lot!

    It's a US production case made by DiVincenzo and Arienti.

    D & A Belove & Ariente Watch Case Co Inc (assignee of Di Vincenzo & Arienti Watch Case Corporation) was based in New York and probably made the case for Norman Morris, the sole US agent for Omega watches at the time.

    I don't know the reference, but I like the lugs.

    Thanks a lot! What do you think of the dial? Original or redone?

    I vote original. Looks like it may have been cleaned at one time.
