I picked this up late last year in nonrunning condition and its just come back from the shop. Steve sorted out a mangled hairspring and replaced the crystal in addition to a movement overhaul, and she is running beautifully



Dial has its blemishes, but overall in pretty decent shape



It does some nice things in the light





Here it is next to a standard 35mm to give you a sense of the size



Quite imposing on the wrist



30T2 inside

 

Congrats again! Is that Eterna new? There was a very similar one on the bay. I was tempted to place a bid but I'm waiting for a Chronometer.

 

Thanks. Yes, the Eterna is new How wrong could I go for 130 clams?

 

Very Nice Lou, love the copper hour markers, similar to my 1940 30T2 NOS model.

 

Nice one Lou. Love those jumbo manual wind omegas. Here is one - similar case style but a 35mm version.

 

thank you all, and back at you. A consortium of you advised me on this one.

I love these. Did that top one sell in the middle of last year? I remember watching that auction and seeing it end prematurely.

 

Sure, as opposed to these same dials on 2 identical watches. I am well aware of the watches you speak of Achim, and I can assure you this watch did not come from South America.

 

I love that jumbo, Lou. Although mine is a standard 35mm size, the dial is very similar to yours, albeit with silver hands and numerals (and, frankly, because of my thin wrists, a 35mm with such a thin bezel looks quite large enough on me!)...

 

Ditto what Erich said. Was equally fortunate to salvage a few NOS pieces from the same source - totally legit and a once in a lifetime find. Actually tracked down where the 33.3 chronographs ended up but the dealer decided to keep one and had already sold the other. Imagine - NOS 33.3 chronographs!

 

What ever our "take" I know that we are all appreciative and grateful for what we were about to get. As well toward's those that helped in the process.
