A mint Omega chrono ref 2439 was sold quickly on eBay yesterday. Does the new owner call OF home?

I was talking to the seller, but I guess someone beat me to it. Hoping to see this watch on OF. Posting pics for posterity as usual. Thoughts, comments welcome.

I am no expert, but it looks pretty good. To me the case seems sharp for solid gold and I think there are some subtle radium burns on the dial below the Omega, which is to be expected. I am curious to know what the real experts think. I could easily be wrong.

Definitely interested in reading people’s thoughts on this one. I know nothing of this reference, but those lugs are lovely. If I were a potential buyer, I’d be worried the lume and the hands might be too good to be true.

I bought that one for my own collection 👍
It blew me away the second I saw it.
Also the reference and exact same details as the watch worn by Tom Cruise in War of the worlds so added bonus there.

Absolutely incredible condition, it must be the best example out there 😀

I agree about the lume in the hands but it didn’t put me off one bit.
All lume on vintage watches will crack and fall out one day I guess. The rest of the watch looked exceptional to me for the age of the watch.
Will post photos when it arrives 👍

Stunning piece, congrats! The solid gold 16mm buckle is a very nice bonus.

If you keep your buying spree tempo up, you might need to sell a few.....

Sold one of my cars, a motorcycle and a caravan all which I never used, so have funds to buy rare watches that won’t bleed money like vehicles do.
Even Mrs E thinks it’s a good idea.
