I’m new to the vintage watch world but have been really drawn into the Omega aesthetic, especially their more simple time pieces.

I came across this piece and am thinking about pulling the trigger for my first vintage watch. My gut is telling me the case back and crystal are a bit to polished. Also I can’t seem to find any good references to compare but the even patina of the dial is really appealing to me.

With my far from trained eye the numerals on the dial all seem consistent and clean (maybe just a real steady hand?) even where the 5 and 7 fall into the sub dial.

Thanks for reading and looking I appreciate any advice. I am excited to continue learning about these pieces of history and make one my own eventually!

 

It would help to see the inside of the caseback in order to cross-check the model number against photos of other examples from reputable sellers. I’m not familiar with this model, but based on the photos I don’t see any of the usual red flags (Bad logo, inconsistent dial markings etc..). To my eye, the patina looks even, and the concentric circles on the subdial seem correct. Again I’m not familiar with this particular model so I would need to identify the model number and check it against known correct examples. Good luck!

 

Thanks for taking a look and the reply! Sounds like my thought process wasn’t too far off which is encouraging haha

Still thinkin it could be frankened together to some degree though since I can’t seem to find any good comparison shots to go off of. I did include the photo with the interior of the case back (5th from top). Bit tough to make out the numbers but looks like 2319 to me which didn’t yield any results when searching. Tried some other variants that seemed possible like 2318 etc too

 

Looks like an older refinishing of the dial to me. Not bad refinish, but probably not original. Not every watch is a mint vintage piece...

 

Where is the "swiss" or "swiss made" logo at the 6 o'clock?
Caliber 30T2 / 265 family it looks like

 

I’m no expert but I’m saying redial, just looking at the number 7 spilling over in the sub dial.

 

Redial. Circle around the minute track is off.

Even worse though is the pitting on the bezel. Thats a junk watch to me. Parts only

DON

 

clearly redial...

 

Agreed, redial. Don't waste your time, nor money.

 

Thanks for the feedback everyone! I learned some new things and ultimately didn’t pull the trigger on the watch. I’ll stay patient and keep looking while learning more from the countless other threads here.
