Omega automatic bumper 2438-6

Greetings. Still new to posting on the forum, and I'll thank you in advance for your expertise. My collecting style over the last couple of years has gravitated towards Omega bumper watches, preferrably from the 40's. I've come across the below sample, 2438-6, from 1944 and would like your opinion on whether the hands are correct. I have a couple others from the 40's and typically see lume filled.

Any insight would be most appreciated.



Kindly,

That movement looks pretty bad, even for the age of the watch. I have similarly aged pieces that look damn near pristine, so if I were you I would hold off. Patina is great but this watch, imo, has had some water intrusion at some point (dial and movement look that way).

My personal advice with eBay, and online purchasing in general, is that you are buying the seller first and the listing second. As gatorcpa said (Go Gators, btw), those pictures are awful and it looks like the seller didn't put much time into this listing. My second piece of free advice is to always wait until you find the perfect listing/item. You can save more money for a better listing and make sure you get the perfect piece for you that will also retain its resale value.

For posterity

Thanks all for the insightful feedback. I learned something about the hands and do see your point on the movement condition. Time to move on.
