Hey OF,

I have an opportunity to purchase this watch.... well, to be realistic, I've already purchased it 馃槈. What do you guys think? I consider myself a pretty proficient "fisher," but, I'd like some input from you guys. I don't know why, but I have a funny feeling about this piece being a franken. Maybe not, but that's why you fine people are here! Let me know if I made a dumb decision. Don't worry, I have thick skin.

Thanks!

Why do you ask ? Civil omega. Looks nice. Mvmt. from around 1943 . Recased in a civil Dennison steel case. Do you see any problems? Let us know. Kind regards. Achim

I don't necessarily see many problems, I guess some of the inconsistencies of the dial markers had me nervous. However, I also think this may be just the age of the watch and part of the "patina." 馃槈

Thanks for your info.

Looks quite honest to me at first glance.

That's what I like to hear. Good deal, thank you.

If you ask about a value, max. $600 unserviced, my guess.
I'm at $700, so slightly over. Not too concerned about it because this will be a daily for me.

Btw, if any of you remember me, yes, I'm breaking my promise to myself to get another Speedmaster 馃ケ

Movement case screws are incorrect

According to this Forum signed crowns began later-after SC and 11,7 serial.

Sorry, may be a sensor issue but what is the purple area?

Probably like the hands are, a blued screw.

Blued screw? In 1943?

Achim-possible?

Nonetheless, very attractive watch!

Looks like a replacement, and yes, the technology of blueing was well known in the 40麓s.

An example with the screws as noted above and crown.

Nice find!

I wonder if prices for these beauts will go down once this pandemic is over, though. I'm sure I was seeing quite nice 30T2s for now-ridiculous prices just a year ago or two.

So, we talk about buying/not buying / liking/not liking a watch, because 2 case screws a' $ 5 should be replaced? What happened to reality? Kind regards. Achim
