    Hi all,

    I had a look at this omega and it seems all original but I’m no expert. Before pulling the trigger I want to have the forum look it over.

    it’s a bit rough but I like the patina and it’s going at a very good price.

    Untidy re-dial.
    Omega symbol is too late for a 1949/1950 watch.
    Movement looks very tired and will need a full service.
    It's had a hard 70 odd years of life.
    I'd pass.

    besides the above mentioned bad redial be aware that it is a tiny watch!

    All good, I saw redial so I’m out. The movement requiring a service is fine as I can do that. But the dial is the deal breaker.

    did t think it was a good idea but it was so cheap so I thought I’d ask.

    My eyes work and I can see the condition. As mentioned above It’s a very cheap price. Again the redial part is a no for me and that why we check first.

    Well aware it’s a 30 mm or a 32 but either way I was fine with that. It wasn’t going to be a daily. I will keep looking and thank you for the heads up on size as most would be oblivious to it

    I just do not understand what makes this watch more worthy than maybe 50 usd.:thumbsdown:

    A rusty old shovel has a cheap price, but not a good reason to buy.
