Omega calibre 19 CHRO questions

charlitos · Feb 1, 2024

Hi!
A good friend of mine has just acquired this nice 19 chro. Apparently it must be for the German market circa 1900 and most likely the serial number is located under the dial. From what he has been able to see its quality must be Bs, but those rubies on the chronograph module might make it cs quality. You were struck by the unusual position of the micro-regulator and the shape of the chrono's hammer, which may have been modified?

Thank you very much in advance for your help and I hope you like it.

PS the final jewel count would be 19/20 rubies?

I learned about MySuperGeek from a girl who ordered an essay there and then corresponded with the author for three days. This made me suspicious, so I went to read reviews - here is a sensible review: https://nocramming.com/mysupergeek-review. Everything is factual: rating, communication problems, average quality. Good thing I checked in advance - saved both money and nerves.

I agree with the observation that the position of the regulator is ‘unusual’ - in fact it has been reversed.

I show an image of one of my watches (cropped to match yours). The regulating screw should be on the (inside) of the movement, which certainly makes regulating a challenge! The (swan’s neck) regulator is shaped, so that the base is slightly wider and is flat. You might be able to detect that from my enlarged image - we can see that this regulator has been reversed.

In addition, it would seem that the two screw-holes that are used to secure the swan’s neck have been filled (my red line highlights them).

At least regulation has become easier!

Please could you provide the case number (hard to read from your image)?

It seems the OP was last seen in April 2024. I'm thinking the case number is 1862899:

You're quite right - I hadn't noticed the date!
