New addition to my collection. Just wondering is cashback authentic as never seen one before with omega written on it from this era.
Thanks. Picked it up with 2 others in St Lawrence market Toronto yesterday. The others were a chronostop driver and wittneuer diver.
Anyone else getting a whiff of the Good Dr. F? “Swiss made T” no lume on dial. Hands either replaced or repainted. Highly suspect case back.
The caseback doesn't look like a good fit. I believe "Dr. F" refers to Dr. Frankenstien. (where is autocorrect when I need it?) This looks like a watch cobbled together from a box of second hand parts, i.e. frankenwatch.
Not 100% sure you are correct there. I will have my watch guy open it up and look at the movement. Thanks.
Thanks. At last some decent comments. Hopefully when opened I will post caseback and movement photos.
Case is genuine Omega ref 2421. One sold here: https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-2421-2-offers.45798/
Solves the case as legit. It’s one of those exceptions to the rule about writing on casebacks hence the concern. Dial is definitely later as T markings came after that watch.
Here’s a typical example of a Ref. 2420: https://www.poshtime.com/481.001/Omega-Automatic-Bumper-c.1945.php It’s shame about the dial, as the case and movement look rather clean. gatorcpa
