·Perhaps you want to rephrase your comment. “Stupid” is not a word to be used with a fellow forum contributor, let alone an established member.

·If I may... I do not think it is necessary to use the "world" stupid in this thread. It is true that Poljot's questions are irrelevant, but it is more because he lacks knowledge - and OF is here for that! It is also true he hi-jacked a thread and made some not entirely necessary comments, but I would rather say it was inapropriate or tactless.
However, Poljot, Dan never said YOU were stupid, but only that your questions about the handmade graving were. I understand you may have been hurt by his comment, but, as Franco said, you may then want to rephrase your comment.

·thread title says Omega 30t2 vintage: any advice?
Perhaps to take some heat of this exchange. @PoljotNormalnij the title of this thread Omega 30t2 vintage: any advice? does not mean the thread is meant for asking questions about any Omega 30T2, but only the specific watch the OP posted. The OP chose this title when he created it, not the forum mods. You are free to ask as many questions about your particular watch, but it would be better if you created a new thread dedicated to your watch. Hope this clears things up.

·Pardon moi François, but who is hi-jacking the thread now? Pas moi. My question to Franco was "I hope you can provide some info about 2712 case" ? What is so silly about it? The only silly part was your answer "Usually, this kind of marking is softer, but your watch did not left the factory with it." Really? That's the answer? There are no stupid questions, but some answers may be not so bright. And what about your selective reading? Where did I say that Dan S was stupid? Why would I say such thing? Please read carefully before commenting on something or answering someone's question. I hope this is the end of conversation, but my gut feeling is telling me otherwise.
Dear Poljot, I guess I may have been wrong: it appears you really want to make troubles!
My answer to your question was correct and nice, as I could have said, if I cared only about relevance, that you were completly mixing things up. But, as I said myserlf - can you read it - I think any question can be asked, so I only explained to you that this is a handgraving, absolutly NOT a reference number.
Okay, you did not say Dan was stupid. My mistake. You only said that he is mad and makes stupid comments.

·I noticed the 1 at 12 is a little bit bended. The movement is running well. Amplitude is between 250 and 280° and the watch lost around 15s per day. I'm still wondering if it needs a service right now, considering the regulator is positioned far from the neutral position to slow down the movement.
As Franco has mentioned, the slight vertical brushing is present on the center part of the dial. The blued small second is a bit oxydated. The 2 pictures on natural light show a more accurate rendition of the watch.
Im really over the moon, it's a beautiful watch but I'm now a bit worried to wear it considering its condition as I don't want to damage it.

The regulator pointer elsewhere than centered usually means it needs service, too.

·Welcome back to the thread @seduriku. Thanks for posting all your photos - seeing your watch has quite restored my 1940s Omega mojo: I think it's breathtaking. But that doesn't matter anyway - you have some of the top guys on OF backing you on this one, and no wonder! WIGH and all that.

·It almost certainly needs a service. The lift angle appears to be 49 degrees, assuming I'm reading this old chart correctly. If you left your timing machine on its default lift angle, then you're gettinng the wrong amplitude.
The regulator pointer elsewhere than centered usually means it needs service, too.
Yes the timegrapher was set on 49°, that's the value google told me. But thanks for that precision. No matter the amplitude is good or not, that regulator position and your advice convinced me that I have to have the watch serviced right now. It would be a shame that this watch, who has been so well preserved during around 75 years, ends up in the hands of someone who will not take good care of it.

Thank you TimeODanaos, I'm happy these pictures helped you to get your mojo back 😀
Having the approval of some of the most knowledgeable guys on this forum is something that makes me happy and makes me love the watch even more.
