Hello

Does anyone have this dial in its original case?

I tried to find out information a year ago without any success.

I purchased this dial, movement from a gold scrapper.

I am also after the production run, and when it was produced.

Any information available will be appreciated, and if possible help to obtain a suitable case.

Regards Gary

PS: Thank you E-Time

 

AAAAAAHHHHHH! Now there's radial flip for letters!

 

I've seen that dial before... believe it was a posting on another watch forum for someone asking for help (you, Gary?)

The posting I'm thinking of was some time ago, and I can't recall whether it was cased or not.

 

surely a redial????
maybe Omega put out a watch to commemorate the polar route that SAS flew?

 

Who makes a redial like that? Well... who makes a dial like that in the first place. It looks like something that Lisa Simpson drew.

My guess is that it's some sort of special edition/custom job that UG put out.

 

If this is original dial, this should be a rare species that should be saved.

 

Hello

Thank you for your replies, I have uploaded a new image.

From the other photos it looks like the lunar module and other detail are painted on, they are actually raised and done in gold etching.

Yes; woodwkr2 It was me, I did have it posted on another forum. Regards Gary

Thank you for your reply

I have looked at this website before, is there a email contact?

Unfortunately no..........

 

Hello,

I do have this watch in its original case etc. Were you able to find out any more information on this piece?

Pictures?

 

I have this watch in original case etc.

 

I so very much want this to be real. If it came in steel, I might even consider picking one up (being a fan of gnidnal). Kidding aside, please do keep us informed if you do find out more about it. Thank you.

 

They will be about as useful as a fart in a spacesuit ...

 

There's one listed on eBay if interested. Not my cup of tea if I'm honest, even if it is super rare.
