    Was offered this for sale.
    Serial in the 24mil range
    caseback marked 105.002-62
    TSwissT dial
    So what is it? a 105.003 with a wrong caseback or a 105.002 that omega put together w parts left?
    Any opinion and advice is welcomed. Asking price for this is $7500 IMG-20170116-WA0032.jpg IMG-20170116-WA0031.jpg IMG-20170116-WA0046.jpg

    thats the part that confuses me. esp with its 105.002 caseback. like it is so much rarer than the 105.003, nobody in the right mind would swap it.

    To me it looks like 105.003 with wrong case back. 105.002 dial doesnt have T markers, 003 does. Serial is in range of 003 -65. I could of course be completely wrong, so see what others say.

    Everything looks ok for a 105.003 (probably -65), except the caseback.

    Apologies, didn't notice the TT dial, was assuming he was thinking 105.003 due to the stick hands, which are ok for a late 002, you're correct though the serial and TT is most certainly not correct (its 3:34AM here I'm afraid).

    Pushers appear to be the larger (4.5mm) found on a 105.003. A 105,002 would have the smaller 4mm size. Worth getting a measurement if you can

    The parts all have a good amount of value but there's no particularly cheap or cost effective path to un-frankening it.

    Is the crown correct? My guess is no, although I do not not know when Omega changed the logo style.

    Attractive and characterful dial. I'd buy it.

    Pretty sure all straightlugs, even the later 105.003-65's, had the old style crown.

    Crown is correct. But not original. Flat foot was original

    A 105.002 caseback might be easier to trade. If that's the only thing out of whack, might be worth a shot. Not sure I'd hit $7.5K for it myself, but these are getting harder to find. I'm just not in love with the dial, and that's probably harder to correct than the caseback.

    The tricky thing is if you went to the trouble of getting a 003 caseback for it, you'd really want to make sure the movement is in fact a 003 serial and not a Seamaster someone's chucked in their when they put it together, that's the other risk as you don't want to spend the money then get that on the extract from the archives

    Should be doable for a 24m serial with an extract.

    $7500 probably isn't a million miles away. It'll be harder to find a .002 caseback than a .003, so you have a good bargaining chip if you're willing to undertake it.

    Edit: $7500 isn't a million miles away, once the extract proves its a 105.003 movement.

    This is a decent shaped Ed White and I don't think the .002 caseback really takes much value away. Not that hard to get correct crown.
    So, I think $7500 is fair assuming movement is in good shape.
