I initially thought @Peemacgee was hinting the case had been refinished. Those lugs do look very sharp more so than you see on earlier doglegs. I’ve not seen enough of these to pass judgment.

 

Exactly, not many at all! Be interesting to see what this goes for

 

no slight intended regarding the case.

this is the site of the nibbles:

 

The case looks great. Shame about those nibbles, but imagine the person going for this will get that nibble sorted somehow

 

I, too, am interested to know what it eventually goes for. There is no link to the auction?

 

i like it!

 

Mine is waiting for service and original second hand!

 

For those watching this, item went down back down to £700, now at £1080! Being discussed on FB group a buyer withdraw his bids as he believes the item is counterfeit and full of replacement parts (incorrect crown)

 

No doubt he/she thinks it’s also a put together watch, with a replacement movement and the dial configuration was all messed up when it was redialled .....

 

Tell him to send it here. I’d be interested.

 

I’ll keep an eye on it. Definitely will be avoiding though

 

This reference is still flies under the radar. OP, I think the crown on the watch you posted is original to the watch as these came with different crowns than earlier versions.

I have two of the flat dial variation of this reference... my wife appropriated my first so I had to hunt one for myself. Both came from Japan and I would highly recommend snagging one if you can find one. Personally, I prefer the flat gray dial on the wrist over my pie pan.

Here is mine on ref 2054 bracelet that it came with. (Unsure if the bracelet is original to watch)

 

I think the flat dial versions are even less common than the pie pans.
Interesting that the flat dial has a printed rather than applied ‘Omega’
@bloomy do you know the serial number on your watch?

I’ll add this link to an old thread as it features more watches plus @Martinibianco seemed to have cornered the market back in 2015

Such a shame about this lug. How would that be fixed?

 

Jump in a time machine and take a baseball bat to the fkwit who did it.

Alternatively, live with it, or a spot of laser-welding might do the trick
(For this watch, the expense would be worth it IMHO)

 

Haha I’m not going for this now. Too risky. Just wanted to know for any other vintage pieces that might come up with damaged lugs. Thanks

 

@Peemacgee , I am unsure of either serial #. I am too lazy to take off the caseback right now but I am going to take mine in for a service once my sm120 is ready from my watchmaker, so I will circle back with both serial #'s.

And for those who don't "read" posts w/o photos here is a turrible photo I snagged of his and hers.

 

Maybe there something wrong with me but I really dont care if there's a couple of nibbles on the inside of a right lug. It's not like I'm wearing a watch with a loope looking at the lugs. So keep things in perspective and if you like a watch just buy the damn thing! Even if it has nipples (ehh, I mean nibbles!)...
