Hey there gentle folks! So... one vintage watch, not a lot of info on the interwebz, AJTT comes up empty handed with just one picture too small to decypher anything and a small description that can't rule out variations... Page 287, 8251. Ranchero-style dial Seamaster, year 1958. Ref. CK 2937, formerly ref. 2891. DIAL: I suspected a redial at first. However, the t-swiss made-t is there and cursively written, the "Seamaster" script looks pretty OK, the Omega is consistent. Relumed? Not sure. HANDS: Definitely wrong I thought at first; then, dug up a few examples with the same handset. Seconds hand could e repainted. CROWN: Definitely from another movie. Right? CASE: ref. 2640 should be a different watch altogether, right? Again, AJTT didn't provide enough reference. Earlier case with an applied dial? MOVEMENT: Cal. 267, serial dates the watch to 1960-1961. Running strong for its age. Found a few on-line references, below. What are your opinions? So... Mumbai special? http://www.chrono24.com/en/omega/seamaster-30-sub-second--id4442207.htm Franken? http://oldman1268.web.fc2.com/others/omegasea267.html http://www.omega-watch-collection.com/omega-watches/#omega-seamaster-2990-267-jpg http://www.imgrum.net/media/1385735351360707386_277657597
Redialed newbie bait. As Jim said above Dan Brown could write another book trying to work out what it was or is
Wow. You guys are a bit brusque with this poster. He's not your usual blunt first-timer, he's posted good photos and he's explained his reasoning. This is a model I don't know anything about so I will refrain from speculating. I don't doubt your word(s) that it's a redial and I have no interest in this either way, but if as he says there is a photo in AJTT (which I don't have) of a similar watch, wouldn't it be kinder and more helpful to at least say what's wrong with the dial?
The lume is too new for a 50+ year old watch. So at the very least the hands and lume plots have been redone; as for the redial part, check the Swiss Made at the bottom of the dial. The text hits part of the 6 o'clock lume marker.
Sorry @Edward53 but it is a omega watch that has been Redialed. ( probably from someone looking at AJTT ) Without spending a fair bit of time trying to work out ( research ) what it is or was not many will be able to quickly give lengthy advice. This is not a redial of the same watch it was this is a redial to make it look worth more than what it was before. It was probably a while dial that was old and damaged.
Hi Standy, as I said, I don't doubt your word! I just thought OP was getting kicked a bit harder than necessary....perhaps I am too sensitive!
Hey, I suspected a redial as well, I don't take it personally (unless you make it personal!). Hence the post. as stated in the end of the post, the whole ensemble is probably a work of fantasy. I even argumented pro and against. I didn't pay any noob tax on this one, don't worry What I felt like doing when I opened the thread was starting an argumented discussion and (hopefully) unearth some photos of real pictures of this reference. As I said, the web is somewhat lacking and AJTT doesn't do a great job with helping.
