    Up for sale is my Ranchero, had fun with it but it's time to part ways.

    Brand and model: Omega Ranchero

    Case: Original 2990-1 case and caseback, slight pitting in the back of the caseback.

    Caliber: 267, serial 1.6 million

    Age: 1958

    Condition: The watch is obviously in sub-optimal condition and I will try my best to give an as honest as possible description of the condition.

    The case has been polished in it's 60 year life but remains quite thick and is in good condition, there is a slight scratch on the right upper lug and signs of pitting on the outside of the caseback.

    The plexiglass and crown are service replacements, original Omega parts.

    The radium in the hour marker has fallen out for about 50%.

    Then the dial, the positive of the dial is that it is original, it has not been refinished or relumed, and the radium that is left has aged quite nicely. The negatives of the dial is that the radium has fallen off the 2, 3 and 9 hour marker. Also there is some damage to the left of the 3 hour marker, I would describe the damage as a dent in the dial.

    The movement is running and is keeping time allright. The service history is unknown and I would recommend a service to the new owner.

    Comes with: Brown Molequin strap, worn probably 5 times. Bought it specifically for this watch and it matches nicely with the patina of the radium. Also possible to throw in a BoR bracelet at extra cost.

    Delivery: Watch is located in The Netherlands, I can ship insured within Europe, outside Europe shipping is to be discussed.

    Price: € 2850

    And a very reasonable price given the market for these. I always like a watch with a little patina!
