this watch has lay in a drawer for half a century without use . enjoy

 

Nice. What is the story behind it? What are you planning to do with it?

 

I bought from from the family of the first owner and he nearly never used it, when he was deceased they sold it.

I want to ask an extract of the archive and probably keep it.

 

Is it normal to see the ink sitting thick on top of the letters? I can see it in OP's photo. Is that normal or a sign of redial?

 

Hi

Interesting....I also note the 5 & 7 markers intersecting with the sub-dial too ?

Hmmmm.
I see red flags I'm sorry to say.
Please show me another white dial Ranchero
with the subseconds dial that has hour hashes
that far away from the subdial edge.
There are other red flags I see also.

 

is the ranchero i ever bought besides what is the point of selling a dial would cost 150 dollar i paid less for it.

 

that's another

 

Ranchero and 30mm printing too heavy

 

off ebay a few years ago

 

The "G" in Omega is wrong too.
Fakers never get it right

 

161m is a little early also

 

...Why would someone change the crown on an unused watch?

 

Amazing csi.

Tune in for CSI: Omega

 

i am sorry but i think your ranchero is redone . I have checked with antiquorum catalogs no " swiss made " on the dial eighter.

 

I trust the collective knowledge of the members here far more than any auction house, especially Antiquorum.

 

Compare apples to apples please.

SHOW US ANOTHER RANCHERO WITH THE HOUR HASHES
THAT FAR AWAY FROM THE EDGE AND THE 5&7 HOUR MARKERS
HITTING THE SUBDIAL EDGE. Please

 

phillips auctions with extract of the archives , note different crown . note no swiss made on the dial

 

The OP's dial is redone/aftermarket
The crown is wrong (if it was a NOS watch why put a wrong crown on?)

It is easy to se the difference compared to and original dial just look at the subdial and the 5
and 7 hour index the length and how they are placed to the subdial.
