    Hi guys!
    I just joined today and I`m curious about this chrono, since I`m unable to find a similiar one.
    The present owner states the following: omega lemania cal 320 in working condition.
    Not much to go on:)
    Anyways, Is it worth the asking price of 3314 USD?
    Judging by the pictures, it seems to have had its dial replaced? The second hand allso seems a bit off to me.
    Please excuse any typos and bad language, since english is not my native tongue.

    I allso apologize, if this post belongs somewhere else.

    Thanks!

    I don't think that's a cal320? there is no column wheel in the movement.

    This is what a 320 movement looks like. Basically a 320 is a 321 with out the 12 hour and register.

    I should add a correction, this is how I bought this piece, if you look at the minute pawl, it is a spring that was "glued" on. Note the dealer, my error was easily fixed though.

    Thanks again,
    I`m still wondering what this watch is then, if not 320. I allso notice that on your watch above it says 320.
    On the one i posted there is only a mark "X" which seems to be scraped in there:

    In that link you provided there is no movement shot, you really need that to see what movement is in there. You can usually see the movement number on one of the bridges , ie 321/ 320. A previous contributor was correct in noting there was no column wheel in your original posting. Beware of that one.

    I think what you have there is a Lemania 1276 movement, often found in Tissot chronos. Details here: http://www.ranfft.de/cgi-bin/bidfun-db.cgi?10&ranfft&0&2uswk&Lemania_1276. The absence of a signature on the movement makes me doubt it belongs with an Omega dial, which I am anyway suspicious of as it's very clean and the hands look too early in style. Hard to tell from these low-quality photos (another bad sign) but I suspect it's a Tissot redialled as an Omega. Whatever it is, it is highly questionable so just forget about this one and look elsewhere.

    There is an Omega symbol on the chronograph bridge - however it has clearly been added at a later date. This is either a franken or complete fake depending on how you see things. I lean towards the latter...
