Hello everyone,

I have been looking for a nice example of an omega 30t2 and I found this omega. The dial looks quite peculiar to me and I would like to have your expert opinion. Being from London and next to Wimbledon this piece seems personally quite interesting.

The price is around £1000, when I looked at eBay I see worst examples going for £700-1000.

Best

Based on this pic, it looks like the dial and hands are both wrong, though there are variations. The second hand is definitely too long.

Different distance left and right might indicate a redial (disclaimer: others know more here!)

Thank you, more likely it is a redial.

Definite redial, IIRC this seller 'specialises' in double signed redials with flowery descriptions and expensive price tags.

OP do you have a link?

😀 He does put a lot effort in his description and I did come across a thread where some members had some issues. I should have known better, but glad I didn’t buy anything.

Yes, this is the one I had in mind......be careful there, AFAIK all of the double signed Omegas there are redials.

He has been a thorn in collectors' sides for more than a decade.

He should be a writer or a novelist the way he describes each watch!

Well...he would be a bad one. Never getting to the point.

And some of his offerings have been for sale for just as long 😲
