·Hi everyone,
I’m considering buying this vintage Omega 30T2 for US$650.
Key details:
• Movement: Omega Cal. 30T2, 17 jewels, serial 11487997
• Case: 10K Gold Filled, marked “Farnsworth” on the caseback (in addition to the Omega triangle logo) - so this appears to be a US-cased Omega rather than a Swiss-cased one
• Caseback also marked “OMEGA WATCH Co / B6629 / T884741”
• Case size approx. 33.5mm
The seller says:
• No service history available
• Dial, hands, crown, and movement are original to the best of his knowledge
• No obvious aftermarket parts
• No timegrapher available; he adjusted the regulator himself and says it now keeps good time
I’ve attached photos of the dial, movement, and caseback.
My main questions are:
1. Does the dial look original or redialed?
2. Do the hands, crown, and movement look correct?
3. Any concerns about it being a Farnsworth (US) case rather than a Swiss Omega case?
4. Do you see any red flags?
5. Assuming everything checks out, is $650 a fair price?
6. Would this be a good long-term collector’s piece?
Thank you!
