Requesting confirmation on F6212 details

I purchased this watch before giving in and buying one I really love for much more. Now I'm probably going to resell this one, but I would like to verify the details about it that I've tried to piece together. I don't want to misrepresent it when I list it on eBay.

It's an American-made 14k gold filled F6212 Wadsworth case. The gold fill is wearing off on the lugs. It does not seem polished to me, or at least not overly polished.

The dial has a few spots but is in good condition and seems to be original, but this is what I'm most uncertain about. At first the A's in "Automatic" appeared to be too pointed, but they are in fact flattened, though not as much as most other examples. I've learned reading through this forum that this rule of pointy vs flat A's is not always reliable anyway because fonts varied among different manufacturers. The hands seem original. The indices are not as common as others, but I have seen this configuration on other watches.

The movement is cal 342 and appears to be in good shape aside from some dirt (or maybe debris from a worn out gasket?). It needs to be serviced before use. The serial number, 11..., indicates that it was made in 1946 (even though Omega's website lists the start date for the case as 1952 https://www.omegawatches.com/watch-...h=655e7946fec05e434c1fb17caabddf8d&no_cache=1).

I have no idea if the crown is original, but it seems appropriate for the period.

I understand that these are not very collectable, and I'll probably be lucky to get $500.

Is there anything I'm off base on? Can anyone confirm or dispute the originality of the dial and crown? I greatly appreciate any feedback!

Dial/hands look good to me. The crown...not sure. It is similar to the crowns of that era. But as crowns suffer wear from use and people used to change them quite often, they are not that important. Dial and case are, and they seem OK. The case has been polished, but that is to be expected in watches this old.

I was confused by the dates, so I tried to learn more. I think I have it mostly figured out now. The 28.10T1 RA PC became the 342 in 1949 according to Ranfft (although this is maybe one from 1948??). So the movement was probably manufactured in 1949 or 1950 and installed in the case a few years later after the F6212 was introduced in 1952. I have no idea how long the F6212 cases were made, though, so I suppose it could have been assembled a few years after 1952.

Thanks for sharing this. Did you find this page from a Google search, or is there a common source for these catalogs? It's pretty handy to be able to reference these.
