Hey all-

I've never seen that before and was wondering if Omega actually produced any like that. This piece has papers, so it's tempting, but I don't want to make the wrong choice here. Opinions, please. Thanks!

 

That hand is short from a chronostop not a real ultraman

 

One other note: people are bidding it up quickly. It's got 22 bids in 2 days....

 

So they did actually make one with a red sweephand, but the one pictures is not correct?

 

What's the reference? If it's a 145.022-68, it's a rare bird and that hand can be replaced pretty easily.

It's a 145.012-67, purchased in 68.

 

Ah, I see that now in the title! D'oh! So, should still be easy enough to replace that chrono hand and have a nice watch, but it's not a special version or anything. As usual, if something is amiss, the radar should be pinging for other issues.

(also don't know why my previous post appears 3 times.. mods can delete if they so desire)

 

Saw that too and was wondering what the pros here would say. Seems like it will be expensive for a dial that looks like it's missing lume - unless that red second hand is legit - which per kringkily sounds like it's not. Interested to see what it goes for...

 

Maybe it's a real "Ultraman". The serial number is correct. Take a look on an interesting thread on italian's forum OP

Here's the actual listing:

I'm hoping the pros here can give me the real on this one. It's tempting.

 

Thanks, Farmaco! Take a look at this from that page:

 

Well, perhaps I shall crow for dinner then!

 

The bezel is completely different though....

 

You're right, Kringkily. The red/orange hand looks a little fat and short:

Looks like @doctor steel commented there. Maybe he or @speedy4ever will come along for comment.

 

Commented where?

Nice watch with a wrong second hand, decent dial. Seller is an acquaintance of mine down here in Fl and is very trustworthy.
She does loads of stuff she finds locally etc. And she is running sale to the end. I asked m

 

¿ What I'm missing here?. I mean look at those bids.
