    For sale is an amazing 18k yellow gold Omega Tresor in a 36mm wide case from about 1961. What is cool about this piece is that I swapped an OEM Omega 1894/1994 anniversary dial into this Omega 2896 "Tresor" in 18k YG case. These dials rarely come up for sale and they're worth between $300 - $500 IMO.

    This is what the original configuration looked like in 1994 - Japan market only.

    I am selling this example because I have a few other pieces with the 1894/1994 dials. Here are some pictures. The 2896 Tresor is a larger size at 36mm diameter (excluding crown) and is very thin in overall height. The watch movement was serviced and is running perfectly.

    As a bonus, I am going to include the original dial that was installed by the Omega factory in the Tresor. This dial was swapped over to the below stainless steel ref. 2890 case. The movement was serviced and is functioning perfectly.

    So, I am offering a nice two-watch deal. If you wish, you can easily swap the original Tresor dial back into the YG 2896 case. I think the black special edition dial from Omega for the 1894/1994 is much nicer looking. It matches the YG case of the Tresor perfectly. The 2896 case is very hard to find and the ones I've seen that come up for sale are either damaged or super expensive.

    I'm asking $2,200 for the entire package of two watches. PayPal accepted (F&F no fees, G&S 2.5%). Free shipping in the USA with USPS Priority Mail with full insurance.
