·Spotted this for sale recently. Seller saying nothing about the dial but wonder if anyone might chip in. Looking at the reference number the watch should have a sub dial. Any thoughts.
Saw this for sale recently and I have no idea what happened to the dial.

··Vintage Omega AficionadoThe most obvious explanation is that the case and or back and movement do not belong together. I'd like to see a clearer shot of the reference number.

·It would be unusual for a watch with a sweep seconds hand to also have a sub dial. Would a related calibre of Omega movement ever have been produced without the sweep seconds hand, but with a subsidiary seconds hand? The 4th wheel (which might be capable of carrying a sub seconds hand) is in the right place. I don’t see such a movement listed in my reference material.

·Looks like a transformed watch with a dial from a pocket watch and from an east-asian watch-maker .

··Melbourne AustraliaYou take a 125.003 case from your junk box, rummage around to find the caliber 269 to "restore" the watch.
You can't find a cal 269, but here's a cal 613! OK close enough!
Bung them together, nearly there, just need a dial. Back to the junk box.
Oooo....look, perfect size, it's an hour/minute only dial from an antique ladies pocket watch, now where are all of those antique hands?
<later>
Perfect! I'll stick this on eBay, those idiots will let me sell anything.

·125.003-62 seems to be the reference number.
