Hi,
I've Bought an old omega i'm really happy with It.馃槈 However i'd like to ask, a more informed person if it's all ok with This watch. I've tryed to find It on Google but i'm having a really bad time. From my search This watch was made after 1942 and It was Mr. Charles Perregaux that designed the movement. I also believe the dial is in good shape, Not refurbished, Not sure about the second hand and o really don't know how to find a ref for the correct crown. Any help or coment are really well welcome. Thanks in advance.
Regards

I鈥檇 suggest returning it for a refund if you can. There are much better vintage Omegas available for reasonable prices.

Closer and sharper (not blurry) pics would help a lot. But from this distance does not look good.

Hi mate.

I am afraid this one has value as parts only. The dial is refinished, the hands are wrong, the case quite polished and missing the gold bezel too. The movement looks very rough and may be a franken - the rotor seems to come from a chronometer-rated version which I doubt fits with the rest.

According to me dial is refurbished. It is not an original dial. No swiss made or swiss sign. I see that hands had radium lumes, and there has to be radium lumes on the dial as well. I believe neither case nor the crown are original. But the movement is original and looks 3xx smt. Caseback is terribly polished but inner shows its original.

If you can't return it, you will just have to use it and enjoy it 馃憤 Even though it's not in original condition, I am sure the watch still offers a nice "vintage experience" with it's modest size, weathered look and bumper movement.

As mentioned. Bezel is missing and going to be difficult to find one if not impossible

Hands not correct and dial refinished. Rotor is not the right one for the movement

If you can return it. Do so. If not. Best you can do is replace the hands, but they will have to be generic and you will need to measure lengths to match the dial.

I disagree with DON, there is a bezel there. Whether it is the right bezel is a separate question.

Dial and hands don't match the case in any event, so if you can return, I would recommend that.

I've made a bit more of dig up. I think the rotor is correct, or at least almost similar. What made you say It was Not?

Similar yes, correct no.

The rotor is engraved for a chronometer tested watch, probably a cal. 354. Since the cal. 354 came in both chronometer and non-chronometer versions both rotors would fit a cal. 351.

This watch has a story to tell, but we cannot figure out what that story is. So collectors would stay away from that one, except to harvest parts needed for other watches.

Hope this helps,
