Question about Omega watch.

Watch-up · May 17, 2022

This Omega watch from 1947 seems to have an unoriginal ring that is made to keep the movement in place in the box. Does this mean that the movement and the box do not belong together or has someone replaced a missing ring with something they made for themselves? Do such old watches have a higher value than the typical vintage watches from the 50's and 60's?

Pretty generic/nebulous question. A concrete answer would be along the lines of......

CONDITION

and their cousin, ORIGINALITY

Wrong crown, too.

Rough condition for any era.

The reference number may be on the inside of the case-back. Can you show that, please?

The movement holder may be a "custom" replacement and the crown has been replaced, but otherwise it looks totally fine to me: https://www.omegawatches.com/en-us/watch-omega-other-omega-ck-2383

Not particularly valuable, but a nice hand-winding Omega from the late 40s with a shock-protected 30T2 movement.
