The reference on the caseback to the model is off...As 2913-5 should have the broad arrow hands.. That looks like the 14755 or a later 2913-8. Hands look relumed and don't match the dial. Otherwise it looks in decent form. What do others think?

 

Comment removed for my sheer ignorance

 

I thought the dial looked fine just the reference to the hands being replaced IMO as that hand series from what I remember came out much a little later on in the 2913-8 and with the 14755. As 2913-5 should have the broad arrow hands or am I incorrect? (not an expert).

 

that sweep second hand is not from Omega

 

Yup!
I thought I was fast in snatching that one, but looking at this thread, I'm surprised!

 

Is this a military engraving? Anyone aware of or seen this code and knows whats the source or which country it belongs to?

Worry not, it is still an impressive watch.

Thank-you.

 

Never occurred to me! It does seem to be the movement number. Very curious....
I need to look into that!

 

Congrats........a beauty snatch. DIBS please.

 

Thnx Privateday7!

It's long lost brother SM 14755 I have won't like to hear that, but your DIBS has been enlisted with me, so no worries

 

Congrats on the quick catch. My 2 cents:

Dial: as stated, correct and with nice radium lume. Really nice!

Hands: as stated, correct type for a middle/late type 2913. Broad arrow hands only on the 1-4. Lume does not seem to be radium - as it should be, but either later tritium or relumed. Those hands were also used on 14755, perhaps 165.014 and perhaps early 165.024. All of which also were produced with tritium materials. Would be nice to see a night shot if possible? The second hand is ok. Should be straight unlumed ones on the 2913.

Case: nice condition, but somwhat polished over... especially the back of the lugs

Bezel: the hard part. On first sight seems correct. Font correct and bezel shows aging and piting and bezel edge don't seem polished. So not a recent redone anyway. Only concern is that the shape of the inlay seems to be straight/"filled" and not concave as should be. The numbers should also "bend" in a concave slope of the inlay/"insert". But really need pictures in the right angel to confirm and have it in hand to compare with others. So would give it the benefit of the doubt However! the count down bezel should only be on the first subreferences, i.e. 1-3 or so...so a bit off here - perhaps hmm.

Caseback: well, clearly markings have been polished of and movement no. engraved (and matching number it is). Why? well, most certainly not something a normal customer would do/demand. Military? Not likely with no military ID whatsoever. Some other industrial player (dive company or), perhaps. Or perhaps a demo watch (not prototype IMO) of some sort. Extract from Omega could share some light on the delivery.

Enjoy, still very nice and special!

 

Thanks Kim, very much appreciate your opinion!
