Omega 2364 help

insoul8 · May 24, 2024

Hi guys, I have what I hope to be a pretty straightforward question about a dial on a ck 2364. I am under the impression that this dial has been restored but just wanted to get some other opinions from folks on here who probably know a lot more about this than I do. Let me know what you all think. Much appreciated!

Hi,

yes its a poor reprinted dial - unfortunately...

Can you show the movement to check if at least the movement is original in all its parts.

There is no movement picture. If the dial is reprinted, it’s a definite pass for me. I would have asked for a movement pic had I wanted to move forward though. It’s a shame as I have been looking for one of these for a while now but even my untrained eye could see this one didn’t look right. Thanks for taking a look at it.

Hour and minute hands also replaced. Should be leaf hands. Dial a poor reprint without “ifs”.

Thanks! Also good to know. Seller didn’t give any of this info but it’s likely they just don’t know. This just reinforces why you should always buy the seller. Even if they are honest, it can be just as bad for you in the end if you aren’t an expert yourself.

Not that I ever doubted any of you for a second but I just found a previous listing for this same watch (same serial number) where the dial refinishing is disclosed and a receipt for the work was even included.

Buying the seller is a newbie strategy, and not a good one, since there is really no way to know if the seller is knowledgable, honest, etc. There are many, many well documented cases of the most famous and "respected" watch dealers providing totally incorrect information, sometime deceptively. Never take the word of someone with a vested interest in the sale. For a newbie, it's actually harder to know which seller to trust, than to evaluate the watch itself.

In contrast, a virtually foolproof strategy is to buy the watch, not the seller. Just ignore what the seller says entirely and use your hard-won knowledge (or the knowledge of an unbiased expert) to evaluate the watch for yourself.
