Thoughts on this 2849

omega1994 · Nov 28, 2025

So i am looking at adding another 2849 to my collection as its a reference im particularly fond of.

I have found a very nice example, however one tiny detail is putting me off - the applied omega logo is slightly wonky (leaning downward towards the 'G' of the OMEGA logo. Does anyone have any ideas why this might be? It's a very subtle thing to see. But other 2949s are all straight. The watch is otherwsie a nice example and not a redial, imo. i wonder if if left the factory like this?

interested to hear what you guys think. huge thanks to the OF forums for providing a platform for these sort of random queries, and cheers to anyone with any advice!

have a great day all.

It looks pretty nice overall, the only thing being the aging to the dial which can either look better or worse in real life. This one I think will be OK.

I wouldn't worry about the wonky symbol, a watchmaker will be able to straighten it up

Could be a tiny bend in a pin. Trying to remove and bending to shift is just a game of how many times can you bend it before it snaps off.

If it bothers you now. It’s really going to bother you if you buy it
