SOLD Vintage Omega 38mm Jumbo - 1940s - Ref. 2505 - Cal. 30T2

For sale is a lovely 38mm Reference 2505. Rarely do you find these in this condition. It must have been sitting in a safe for the last 70 years.

Dial & Hands - All original and in excellent condition with rose gold markers and hands.

Case & Crown - Case is stainless and in great condition. It's a very nice and wearable 38mm sans crown with 18mm lugs. Crown is signed and appears to be original. Inside caseback is signed 2505-24.

Crystal - Unsigned crystal is in excellent condition. I have seen this model with a lower profile crystal so there may be an option to swap it out at service.

Movement - Caliber 265 is clean and running well. 11 million serial number dates the watch to the second half of the 1940s. Service history unknown.

Strap & Buckle - The watch is fitted with a custom made Horween "antique" leather strap and signed omega buckle. This strap was around $100 new and fits my 7" wrists on the center hole.

Look alright to me (to my relatively untrained eye) apart from hands.

Are they difficult to source? Im quite keen on it... apart from never having bought from Argentina before...

I don't like the subdial either. It may be original but that would be the first I've seen done like that.

Thanks to you both gents, good reasons to keep a distance!
