Hi all, I just wanted to share this one with you since there aren't many examples out there to look at. I have seen only a few on OF, including one from @gatorcpa. I also really like the Turler double signed dial - I have never owned one before. This is a reference 2517-3 with caliber 352Rg and 11.9 million serial. The case is around 35mm. There is some light spotting on the dial, but it has survived a lot better than some other I have seen. I don't have my case knife with me right now, but I'll add some movement photos later in the thread at some point or update the original post. Edit: movement and caseback photos added
Thanks for the kind words! Movement and caseback photos added to the OP. Movement looks a bit dirty so I will be sending for service soon. Screwheads look really great though, nearly untouched.
Hi I have such watches, what do you think about them? Omega Chronometer 2517-1 "Plank dial" Omega Constellation 2648 ,cal 352. Nice?
What are your thoughts about this one? Looks like 2517 but with officially certified on the dial. Turler seems a bit crude but after quick research it looks like there are 2 types of san serif prints, both slightly different. https://www.watchprosite.com/omega/turler-signed-early-1950-s-omega-seamaster-automatic-chronomètre-cal-352-/677.1283441.10846611/
From first glance it looks ok but better pictures would help - I've have owned a few with the skinnier Turler font. Also haven't seen as many with the officially certified text like yours.
Kyle, unfortunately that's all I got at a moment. Imho Turler is debatable but everything else looks correct.
“Officially Certified” on the dial generally (but not always) means a post-1950 watch. https://www.watchprosite.com/page-wf.forumpost/fi-677/ti-832198/dv-true/wf.responses.open_bLoB_s-0/ I believe that the Ref. 2517 continued to be produced after 1950, so having the extra wording on the dial makes some sense. We’d need to see the inside of the watch to say any more than it may be correct. gatorcpa
