The price for thisPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network seems to be extremely mouth watering...anyone else seen something similar?
That doesn't look like a chronometer movement even... This seems like a creative redial. Nice star with 6 points though
Personally I think they are full of shit, dial has clearly been messed with, more likely a complete fantasy. Why does the dial have a London reference when the extract says it was delivered to South Africa, why is there no mention of it being a chronometer on the extract, what's going on with that horrible blue 24 hour scale printed next to a faded red one? Should something this early be marked Swiss Made on the dial? But hey, they may find a sucker to snap it up at their bargain price of $20K.
Yes! This is what immediately jumped out at me. It's impossible that there would have originally been two different 24 hour scales. Also, if this is a chronometer, it should have a 30T2rg movement, which should have a fine adjustment on the regulator. Or at least that's what I have seen.
I'm almost positive there was a thread on this watch in the past. I believe it has been on Ebay for awhile and I can see why.
When he first listed the watch I messaged him to ask him if he was aware that his account had been hacked
I do not think this dial is a complete re-dial. IMO it is an original dial concerning the radially printed Arabic numbers, the 1/5-seconds track and the logo/Omega wording and star. But: The red "Chronometer" lettering and the blue numbers have been added later to pimp up the dial - most likely also the dealer´s text (but not necessarily so) The "SWISS MADE" is OK for this type of dial. For your reference - here is an original dial and of course the watch in question is no chronometer - it has a simple cal. 30 SC T2 best erich
