Another nice Omega I’m lucky to own is this Omega 2179-6, screw back, all steel case with a unique dial design and the classy 30T2 movement inside! Sorry I have only one pic, more will come tomorrow Hope you like it!
Never seen one of these with the "Fab. Suisse" on the dial. Marks it as a French market piece. There will likely be a similar engraving on the movement. That's a exceptionally nice dial for this reference. These tend to have a lot of radiation damage from the radium. Sometimes these can be multiple shades of orange. Wear in good health, gatorcpa
Hi Giuseppe, nice to see you here too. Lovely 2179, and the only one I've seen so far with the Fab Suisse on the dial!
Fab. Suisse means that it's a watch imported in the French market (at the time, all international goods had to be marked in a visible manner)
This is not that uncommon but hard to find with a pristine dial. I found this one about 8 years ago and don't recall seeing a nicer example before or since. Maybe something similar has popped up in the last 2-3 years during which I wasn't looking as closely but I suspect not.
You didn't and you won't. I knew of one of these that sold with almost perfect dial many years ago. For all I know, this is a redial. You can see the quality of the photo. I think yours is the best we will ever see. gatorcpa
