·I recently listed this for sale on eBay, and just dropped the price earlier today (Make and offer or "Buy it now" for $795).
Happy to entertain reasonable offers directly through OF, and will remove eBay listing upon payment assuming there are no active bids at the time.
Thanks for looking,

Up for sale is this really cool vintage Omega Bumper Automatic from the mid 1940s. Beautiful blue-steeled center seconds hand, and chapter ring that are in remarkably good condition for a watch of this age.
Reference number inside the case back is 2438-2, and serial number (1017xxxx) is visible on the beautiful bumper movement.
I believe, but am not certain, that the caliber of the watch is 28.10 RA SC, 17 jewels.
I don't know much about vintage Omega, but as far as I can tell the dial, "syringe-style" radium hands, steel case and radium numerals appear to be entirely original, which is incredibly hard to find in great condition these days. The crown is unsigned -which is correct from the 1940s, from what I understand (but I am not certain).
I don't have a calipers for precise measurement, but case width is approximately 33mm (34mm?) or so including the slightly "extended" lugs (but without the crown) - as shown in photo.
Omega signature and logo are crisp on the face of the dial, which shows a lovely even and creamy patina and light spotting, as one would expect on a dial that is likely almost 75 years old.
The applied radium numerals appear to be un-tampered with and are very sharp and well-defined. They glow brightly under UV light, as shown. The playful font of the numerals is simply wonderful and adds hugely to the visual appeal of the watch.
I have only owned the watch for a brief period of time and am not aware of its prior service history. It appears to run smoothly when wound, but I have not put it on a timer. The movement looks clean, as if it might have been recently serviced (I'm not sure), and the bumper makes a solid and pleasing "thump" as it bounces back and forth between the springs. The crystal is in good condition, with a few light scratches that could likely be buffed out with care - I have not tried to do so.
Please note that watch comes on a very soft and chocolaty brown textured leather strap (18mm at the lugs) that has literally been worn less than 2 or 3 times (and does not include the other straps - alligator or ostrich - that appear in several pictures), with a generic buckle.
Please feel free to ask any questions, as I will not accept returns unless something in my description has been materially misrepresented. Watch is sold as-is. All photos are recent and were taken by me and constitute part of the description of the watch.
PayPal F/F, or cash wire accepted as payment.
