As promised, for an estimated appraisal of the 1952 stainless steel chronograph first shown Tuesday, here are photos which include inner back case and movement. Case No. is 2475, Movement is 320. You are correct in observing that the dial is a reface; owner had forgotten. Also he cannot locate paperwork to prove sole ownership since purchase 61 years ago, although he is the sole owner. Would appreciate your expertise for a suggested asking price soonest. Many thanks!

 

Agree with MSNWatch.
You need to post better pictures of the dial, crown and back, inner caseback and movement (if you can remove the caseback without damaging it).
Also if it's one owner is there any paperwork ?

 

Coming back with pictures on thursday.

 

Did a little old man only wear it to church every Sunday?

 

In order to time his sleep during the service?

 

The "little old man" owner appreciates ulackfocus's and northernman's comments, but wishes to advise that he was a non-church-going kid of 16 when he bought his Omega. Now that he's a 6 foot 7-inch "old man" he wears a Seiko, as it has an alarm to wake him up after the sermon. He said he is praying for both of you. Thank You. (Photos of the movement and inner caseback coming on Thursday.)

 

How did you know?
The old man, my uncle, had it in his sock drawer forever!!!

Why am I craving Hassenpfeffer?

If anyone noticed, the one that sold in Nov. 2013, had a nickel finish c. 320 movement instead of a rose gold finish.




The 320 in nickel finish (unusual)


The 320 in rose gold finish (common)

The movement is quite rare, and probably an immediate transitional from the 27 CHRO.
Maybe the OP can upload a photo with the movement of his 2745 for comparison.

I am wondering if there are any 321 movements in nickel finish too.
