A friend offered me this watch with the same poor pics Im posting and I closed the deal. Actually im pretty excited about it. It wont be till saturday till I check it out in person but would like to share and see what are your thoughts. Swiss Made and Omega prints seem legit to me.
Never seen anything like that before. Not sure if I’d be excited or ready to run away as fast as possible. Best of luck with it though. It would be interesting to see some better pics once you have it in hand.
Nice dial but that "Omega" script looks shaky to me. Minute hand doesn't look adequate beyond the minute track. Case and movement match.
Thanks, will post some good pics once I get it Thought the same thing but a quick search and I found a couple of other watches with the same reference with the longer hour hand, here is one from the forum.
Really really cool. Any veteran members see something like this before? @gatorcpa @Bill Sohne @kyle L @MSNWatch
I can't say I have, but then again you never know with Omega. I have seen the spiral pattern around the minute ring but never in the center like that. It gives off a good vibe IMO! Even has Swiss Made under the crystal.
I concur with Kyle. I think there is good chance that it is original, but have no idea who would be able to prove this. gatorcpa
Watch is here and its as good as expected. Dial is completely original. I was hoping to take the movement out for better shots and clean the cheese from the case but movement is incredibly tight, seems there is more to this one than just removing the retaining screws. (Maybe the crystal retaining ring is what holds everything in place?) I did a quick polish on the crystal to have a better look while I take it in for proper cleaning. My guess is that the guilloche artist tried something different this day. I wonder how many of these exist.
Some close up pics of the dial Swiss Made script is correct Lots of dirt on the outer rings Will post more pics once its back from service
A stunning dial! Very cool! I have an old bumper and I can't make up my mind about the hands. In any case I really like the watch and can't justify chasing down a replacement set of hands; who knows? Maybe they're original and then I'd screw it up...
Here is the “usual” guilloche dial for comparison, spiral guilloche patterns only appears on the outer portion of the dial. Pics are from a watch that sold on ebay two years ago, seller was from the Phillipines
