    Hi guys,
    I am letting this fantastic Omega Ranchero 2990-1 go.
    I am not an expert of this reference, so please correct me if you find something you don't agree with.

    I think the watch is pretty original and it hasn't been messed with.
    Dial and hands have the original lume. Under UV the indices show just very little glowing. The big triangle of the hour hand glows most which seems logical to me.
    The white dial is just stunning, great patina and fantastic indices.
    I think we can all agree this is not a repainted or relumed dial.

    Case in great condition, hard to say if it has been polished in the past or not but it looks great.
    Lugs are still super thick.
    Crown ( with flat feet ) looks like the original to me.
    Case back in very good condition with the waterproof engraving. Inside is showing the 2290 1 reference and the other engravings.

    The movement has been completely serviced by my watchmaker 3 months ago.
    It's running perfect. I give a 12 month guarantee on it.

    Movement: cal 267
    Serial number: 15853387

    I have seen some crazy prices for this 2990-1 reference. Don't know if they are justified or not.
    But anyway, I think I am pricing this watch pretty sharp in my opinion. An original Ranchero is very to find, a lot of fake dials around, relumed watch, repainted dials, etc....
    This one is really honest. And what's more, just look at the pictures, it looks incredibly cool.
    If you don't like my price feel free to make me an offer.

    I am including a great Bulang suede strap ( see pictures ) with the watch ( value 109 euros ).

    NEW PRICE!!! : 4150 euro ----> 3600 euro ( insured shipping and Bulang strap included )

    Payment: Bank transfer or PP ( +4% )

    Best regards,
    Bernard
