Guessing this was another melt job while the gold price was high at some point. The case is kind of interesting, clearly aftermarket but at least a bit unique and quirky. Hopefully it helps someone complete a project watch with the parts

That must be the most tired 33.3 mvmt., I've seen. Even the dial is useless ....this is the project to start another project.

Mate you should see some of the dogshit watches in my “projects to complete box”, ever seen a 321 Speedmaster tritium dial eaten / chewed by a child? Apparently tritium lume is yummy.

That dial looks like it could be legit. The pushers also lend me to believe that’s an oem case. Staybrite and the serial are not scaring me off.


Restoration costs and hands freak me out.

Don't think so. Black 5 minute numerals printed over the metal markers..... Omega had always very clean chrono dials in that period.
