Omega 2914-3 - looking for advise

watchyouwant

Forget the hands. Easy fix. Lume removed from the lume wells. Wrong crystal with cut pressure ring. All fixable. Well worn, as they should be. Looks like the Portuguese customs stamp on the left upper lug. Depends on the price. I you want to discuss the value, send. PM. Kind regards. Achim

For me the relumed hands are a big deal breaker I wouldnt buy it unless its on a relatively low price so that you can buy some other hands or get those relumed with a color that matches the watch face.

I'll consider it if you pass on it. Is the watch still located in Portugal?

Another request for advice where a most important piece of the puzzle is missing... price.

Because the caliber 284 is seen in so many models, I would be careful and ask for better photos of the movement to see if the serial number is at least in range with correct 2914-3, or better yet, to try to get a confirmed extract if possible. Otherwise this is worth as just case, hands and dial, all of which are sadly in poor conditions.

I don't see the dust cover and the spacer ring either which in my opinion are the important features of this model.

thanks for your comments and advise. I will ask for a close up on the movement for serial number identification.

As for the dust cover and spacer ring, is it fixed to the case back? The case back on the picture you shared looks different, and i cant identify the reference number due to the size picture. Is is a 2914-4?

Looks like they removed some of the lume from the dial.
On first photo you can se that the index are to deep.

You can discuss openly as well. This is a community of collectors, is it not?

i am rather new to the forum, can we discuss prices openly? on other forums I am familiar, these seems a no go.....

bigsom

Spacefruit has an entire website dedicated to evaluation and pricing of speedmasters, we openly discuss prices and auction results, we have a sales forum for members who are pricing their watches and trading within the community. You'll often find people saying "that's a great deal go for it" or "I don't think I would pay that much". Look for the helpers and ignore these selfish people who deal in bad faith for a buck.

The ring does not attach to the case back. I can't identify the sub-reference number either but it is irrelevant because all 2914-s should have them regardless.
