    Hello,
    I am new to this forum. I apologize for further mistakes for English is not my mother tongue.
    I would like to have some info on this watch for I could not find any, except one for sale on a site called Chrono-24. It is 37,5 mm wide (without crown) and the case is in 18k pink gold. Most of the oversized 30 mm Omegas I see are with a second at six. Does any of you have such a model ? Is it rare ?
    Thank you.

    Nice watch. Jumbo omegas are uncommon and the 18k rose gold versions a bit more so. Your watch looks like it is in nice shape with what looks to me to be an original textured dial.

    Hello,
    Thank you, I beleive the watch to be totally original. Do you know of sweep second watches like this one, for I could not find any info except a 39 mm version which I beleive to be gold-plated.
    Thank you

    Yes, the 37.5mm manual winds came with both center and subseconds models. There were a few case references including yours.

    Very nice..........I love the leaf hands. Is that blued steel second hand? That is a lovely touch.

    This particular model is not listed on the Omega Vintage Database, but that is not unusual. The Jules Borel parts database shows that cal. 283 is correct for this reference.

    I was able to find mention of another Ref. 2785 here:

    http://www.omega-watches-expert.com/omega-watch-price.html

    Since it has a case serial number, it is likely solid gold, probably 18K, like yours.

    Hope this helps,

    Hello,
    I messed up when I registered on the forum and did twice. So now on I will use this name and not Omegastar1210.
    Thank you for your comments.
    regards.
