Hello all, I was tempted to have a stab at this nice looking civil service India 2165 on the bay recently, but had some concerns. Could anyone confirm my suspicion of the “concentric... sector dial” being repainted? In fact, did the Omega CSI ever have a dial like this? Thank you.
It looks redialed to me, but let's call @bubba48 as he is the forum expert on all things CSI. Meanwhile I'll direct you to these two threads: https://omegaforums.net/threads/wwi...ed-for-india-omega-2165a-watch-26-5-t3.82113/ https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-2165-circa-1944-civil-service-india.88758/
There has been some very interesting developments of thinking on the CS(I) stamping on MWR, Canteen Services (India) being pretty strongly supported. See link to the thread below.. https://www.mwrforum.net/forums/sho...-Longines-watch-with-history-spotted-for-sale
