    Hi,

    I appreciate any advice about this watch please.

    I have an incoming omega cal 30t2 which dates to about 1939 which is in a dennison 13322 sterling silver hallmarked case dated 1941.

    But just wondered how common or rare are these silver cases,as I cant seem to see one on Google?.....apart from this watch that was auctioned,but for some reason relisted where I happened to purchase it.

    I know Dennison 13322 case was used by Omega and Longines,but was the 13322 used by other brands?


    Many thanks

    Lee

    Hello Lee
    I'm like you, first time I see a Dennison case silver with a stamp.
    About the watch you can find a surprise because the movement number makes me think about an 30T1 or one of the first 30T2. You can find one of these two options under the balance wheel.
    For me the watch is original.
    The dial is a small one, about 30mm for a 33mm case. No holes on the legs and fixed bars.
    It's not unusual to find "swiss made" in this watches destinied to UK market.
    Regards

    Thanks for your thoughts,

    Its interesting that looking on Google,you can easily find 13322 cases in stainless steel, 9k and 18k gold.

    I can only think solid silver wasn't very popular?

    I also questioned if the case is original to the movement,but I cant seem to find another brand other than longines that used the 13322.
    If it was for a longines movement,then I guess the back would be stamped "baume"the importers name?

    I can't help you, Lee about this case. I repeat that's the first time I've seen a silver Dennison's case for an Omega 30mm.
    Better thinking it's an unusual than a franken case of Longines.
    P. S. The second hand is broken.
    Example

    Thanks again. It kind of confirms that they are not very common,unless shown otherwise.

    I see what you mean with regards to the second hand.

    Looking forward to inspecting the watch when it arrives.
    I think the 30t2sc seems to get more attention from collectors than the sub secound version,but still think these look great.

    That's a shame.

    I miss out far more than I win,so was surprised to get this omega,especially as my maximum bid was just over a pound more than the previous bidder.

    I have seen this watch twice when searching silver cased 30t2's on google

    A previous owner posted a question on watchuseek a few months ago doubting its originality as he also has never seen a solid silver omega with a 30T2,He didn't get a reply to his question.

    Then I came across a relisted auction of this watch from the same seller as I bid with,but the final price was over £100 more than i paid.

    Yes it gets harder by the year to find those right pieces or I am getting more selective

    Hi! Do you have full picture?
    I have a 30t2 movement with this dial and hands and I'm looking for a reference.
