    Does a 343rg count? This ref. 2576 is presently at the watchmaker, needed a pallet fork replacement. Being no fan of "skeleton" hands, I have asked him to re-lume the hands, but leave the dial as it is.

    Bumping this thread with today's arrival: 2517-2 with cal. 352. The crown is a generic replacement. Any chance I can get hold of a genuine, period correct one in this life?

    Finding a correct 1018Y crown was akin to an FBI investigation.

    Modern replacement? Yes. Here you go:

    Period correct? Probably not, short of finding another Ref. 2517 watch.

    Ask him on EBay: swiss.watches. Sometimes he has genuine crowns.

    Hi
    I thought that within 3xx serials, only 352 was intended for chronometer specifications but not 353 or 354 or others. Here I see, that this was not true. Or?
    Please, I need some explanation. Maybe other persons too.

    Ok, I see. How about 353? From your answer, no chronometer. Is that right?

    353 most likely not but some of the 355 (according to AJTT) but I have never seen a chronometre with 355 in the wild

    Hi

    I have seen a sq steel 355 chronometre in the wild once! I saved a pic but for the life of me can seem to find it

    the case looked like a ck 3950 had a hibnailed dial date at 6 and dial was signed Omega Automatic Chronometre if my memory serves me correctly .


    Good hunting
