    Whilst browsing the net, I came across what I think is a Polaris SM 120. I quite like the look, however, as this is not really a mainstream model and sits somewhat between modern and vintage, I thought I'd ask a couple of questions.

    1) As far as I can find out, the majority of these watches were quartz, this is described as a 1995 watch having an ETA 2892A2 movement. Possible? (no movement pictures)

    2) I've looked on line and can't find another dial with exactly this wording, though if it does contain an Omega branded/altered ETA, it might fit the facts.

    3) If genuine, what would you consider to be a fair value banding?

    Looks good but haven't seen the model before? One thing i do see is that the bracelet is very worn ? To much space between the links . Movement should be a chronometer ETA 2892. A 2500 coaxial .

    I don't think so. Should be a 1120 or possibly a 1109.

    Certainly won't be a 2500, but could be an 1109, 1111, or 1120 depending on the age of the specific watch.

    You are wrong. ;)

    First the ETA equivalent would be a 2892A2, not "-2".

    Second, Omega does make changes to the 2892A2 when they use them. Sometimes they are subtle, sometimes not. Certainly the 1109 and 1111 are closer to the ETA 2892A2 than the 1120 is, but they don't give these movements different numbers just for the heck of it.

    Cheers, Al
