    Up for grabs is my bumper 3950 in yellow gold, it has one of the nicest waffle dials I've encountered on this reference. Some of the pictures are from the seller I purchased it from.

    Dial/Hands: Original and correct waffle dial is very clean, markers and hands show signs of tarnish.

    Case: 18K case is very sharp, and showing tarnish. I like tarnish on old gold watches and haven't tried to remove it. Crystal has an omega symbol, I believe the crown to be correct. The crown side of the case has a small hallmark stamped into the gold. There is also a hallmark on the back of the 10:00 lug.

    Movement: 342 Bumper movement is clean. Service history is unknown, but it runs well.

    Bracelet/Strap: Sold head only, no strap or bracelet is included

    Accessories: None

    I am asking $4,700 US shipped worldwide via FedEx with Parcel Pro. Payment accepted via wire. I'm located in Chicago (USA).

    References are available by request or in the feedback section of the forum.

    Please PM me if you have any questions. Thanks OF for the space!

    How about those tarnished markers? Can we make them shinny again?

    It would be risky. In normal use without a loupe or macro lens, you will hardly notice.

    I don’t see any dimensions in the listing.

    Is it my ignorance? Lots of positive comments from knowledgable members. Is this like a Speedy Pro, where the dimensions are known and assumed by all?

    A truly beautiful watch.

    Sweet size. Thanks. I could have looked it up but I am the only one who did not know of these and their sizes? I’ve seen a few recent FS posts without dimensions and am wondering if I am even worse at this watch hobby than I think.

    I agree that width should always be mentioned.

    Wow! Nicest thing I have seen in ages. Slightly out of My league glws.

    has anyone else noticed gold watches are going massively cheaper than they used to, especially to members mad on particular references in the uk, and in need of significant charity to help them cope with their addiction exacerbated by dreaded import duties?
