Thank you for your kind answers!
So, if it is just refraction, I’d say the watch is worth buying!

Hi Guys, im newbie at omegaforums, is this the right place to post about Ranchero questions?

Got this Ranchero from a trade couple years ago, i noticed that mine does not have a sub second dial, cant find anything about this model. Is there anything special about this model?

The center seconds Ranchero would be reference 2996-1. It's less common than the small seconds version (2990-1) but, as Bumper said, your dial is in the wrong case (looks like a 2667 maybe).

Hi
As mentioned earlier the case is wrong for this type of watch. I would also advise to start your own thread on the forum rather than take over this one.
Regards
Chris.

Hi guys, it's still me.

I eventually bought the watch, it's amazing and really enjoyable.
Do you know which type of crown is correct for 2990-1 Rancheros? I've read that bowler-hat Omega logo type should be the crown to aim but cannot find the reference.

Thank you in advance!

Sure bowlerhats



The crown you can get today is ST45003




Style vise I think the ST45006 looks more bowler like

Thank you for your kind reply.
My Ranchero has a bowler-hat crown but with newer Omega logo, not with the one you can find on the dial of the watch.
I wonder if the correct crown is bowler with vintage Omega logo. Idk where to source one, on Cousins.uk is “Restricted by manufacturer”, as you pics suggest.

You can not get a correct new one. You have to source one from a donor watch from the same time.
