Hi all,

Question on the 2852 reference. Been seeing a few with only automatic and chronometer lines.

Safe to assume a redial? I’d expect the officially certified and possible chronometre spelling?

As far as I know the vast majority is with the RE spelling. But a few late examples have ER. There was an example posted somewhere in the middle of the aforementioned 2852 thread with the ER spelling.

This is it:

This would be a very late Ref. 2852, at least a 16.5M serial number on a cal. 505 movement.

Thanks @gatorcpa . So they do exist. I guess as with most omega, never say never!

There’s this one from @hoipolloi too in this thread, although no info on the serial, but I would imagine it’s also a very late number.

A word a caution on this one - I saw it auctioned on liveauctioneer last year, was supposedly sold and then reappeared shortly after at a lower (?) price on a website. It has been sitting there for a long time.

Not sure if there is anything wrong with the watch, or the website (which I had never come across)… or the price…

This was the item link in the auction, if you want to dig into it. https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/208424766

EDIT: just to add, one thing which raises questions about the watch in this thread is the distance between minute hashes and the piepan edge/facet. But if you’re interested, perhaps you can post better pics so it can be properly discussed.

Not sure if the watch in your auction link is really the same watch. It seems to be a 3 line version, with rhodium plated markers. Not rose gold like OP’s watch.

Apologies, the link doesn't seem to work correctly for past auctions. I think it's defaulting to another watch.

I logged into my account and this is what I get.

Obviously it sold, but not really - given it was listed shortly after outside of the auction.

The “ER” version can also be found with the full “OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED” line, as seen on my black-dial reference 2852. 🤩

What’s the serial on this one?

As noted by the expert @gatorcpa, my watch may be a transitional example from the period when Omega decided to adopt the “ER” version but had not yet removed the additional “OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED” line.

Thanks for the information. I wasn’t interested in buying this particular example, just learning more because i was under the assumption they would all be three lined with chronometre spelling.
