just wanted to get some opinions on this 2639. To me it looks correct except the crown. These are the only pics from the listing I have to share. Thanks guys.
I’m not too concerned with the incorrect crown because Otto frei still has the correct crown if I’m not mistaken.
So I ended up pulling the trigger it was a few hundred bucks so I figured why not. I was able to source the crown from Otto frei. Thanks @Archer for verifying the part #. The watch itself looks better in person than the pictures. It’s definitely not the most pristine example of a 2639. The dial will for sure need some cleaning but the hands and markers are corrosion free so that’s a plus. The case has been polished but the front of the watch still looks nice. Someone went a little overboard with case back though and polished it to within an inch of its life! I wouldn’t be opposed to sourcing a case back that’s in better condition. @Archer, could you tell me the part number for a case back? The plan now is to send it of for servicing/cleaning (definitely no more polishing) put it on a nice vintage style leather strap and wear it! I’m really liking the 36mm case size.
New correct replacement crown installed, light dial cleaning and a crystal polish. Did it myself. Not bad for my first time. God bless omegaforums as I was able to reference some old threads that walked me through the process. Got approx 34 hours out of a full wind timing was correct to the minute but I didn’t time it down to the seconds. Not bad for a 60+ year old watch.
