Dear forumers,

Firstly, let me thank you for all the useful information and knowledge on vintage Omega watches that I’ve learned here.

This is my very first post but I follow you from 2 years now.

I would like to ask you an estimation of a vintage Omega from 1940s that I own, bought few time ago on a street market. I’ve heavily searched on internet using reference and movement number but nothing came out. Then, I realised this might be considered a 30T2 model, as I found out it had different serials in both back case and movement. This has a 35/36 mm case diameter, not even sure it can be considered a “Jumbo” version.

Hope you could help me and shed some lights on this beautiful Omega model and make an estimation its current valuation. I’ve seen that Omega 30T2 watches price ranges a lot, from few hundred to 2,000 dollars.


Thanks in advance for all those who will help me.

Quite a few problems.....repainted dial . And not a good repaint. Omega sign, omega txt. The regulator points too far to the slow down direction. Could be the balance in there. So far, only a few hundred dollars.....

The hands appear mismatched to each other and the color looks odd. Have they been painted black or is it just the lighting?

it’s just the light I think, they are actually blue coloured.

I agree that from a collectibility standpoint, it probably isn't that valuable. From a functionality perspective, a longer, matching, leaf style minute hand and a service would turn this into a nice, wearable watch with a well-regarded manual movement. Most people you encounter day to day would see it as a pretty cool watch.
