Case metal? Dial condition? They were made in the 1940's and '50's. Can't tell you anything about value without pictures. gatorcpa
I think this dial was incorrectly refinished. Should look like this: Otherwise correct. If the watch is not in running condition, I'd estimate the movement is worth several hundred dollars in parts. Piece is not in collector grade condition. Sorry for the bad news, gatorcpa
It is a rare piece but it has been refinished like Evan has said. There can still be radium burn on older redials.
Radium was used up until the early 1960's, depending on the country in which the watch was sold. With an original dial, $1,000 to $2,000. Like this, about half that figure. Yes, it's that important. gatorcpa
Looks like the evidence was removed. Join the best forum. Get good advice. Don't like the advice. Remove pictures. It was a shit looking thing anyway, better that the pics don't pollute the forum. Pulling pics like as was done here should be a banning offence (in addition to the offence of posting Invictas).
When the pics come back I'll forgive you. It really pisses people off when people pull pics and vanish after getting what they wanted from some of the nicest experts on the internet. It's happened before and I just got a bit cranky about this one. And loading pics is easy. Just click the ADD PHOTOS box below the post box, select your desired pics and when they've been uploaded, click on the "Insert Photos". If you hang around you'll get to know a lot more about watches, Omegas in particular. And you'll probably make a few internet friends here as well, although I doubt we'll ever be best buddies after our rocky start. Cheers Jim
Usually you end up good friends after a rocky start.. @Deezel looks like you have a bit of fight in you (cool) set a avatar and stick around we need a few more like you..as @JimInOz cant do it all alone...
First of all, I can assure you that the watch is not keeping better time than your phone. Second - Seriously? You are confident enough to dismiss the people who have told you that your dial is refinished? These are folks who have devoted literally years to the study of watches just like yours. Crazy bastards, who own more watches than clothes and who wear loupes on their key chains for chance encounters on the tram. You're going to tell us that they might be mistaken? Do you tell a scientist how he misinterpreted the function of the pyramids? Are you going to criticize the work of Poe? Do you slap the face of the gods? Then why in the name of all that is good and that ticks are you questioning the appraisal of an Omega watch on Omegaforums.net?
Here's some information about your watch from the Omega Vintage Database A very similar model was formally issued to the US Army in the later stages of WWII, however your is a different model although it has a similar dial layout. The 30T2 movement series is one of the best Omega produced in the 1940s and yours is Chronometer rated with an Index Regulator (hence the RG). Unfortunately the dial has been "serviced" at some stage and lost it's original markings. This wasn't unusual practice before the internet opened watch collecting to the masses but the re-finishing of dials lessens the appeal to many serious collectors. It's possible that the heavy lume on the numbers could be removed and with the movement serviced and adjusted you will have a nice watch for regular wear. I don't know how rare the particular model is but value wise I could see it swinging either side of USD$500. It depends on somebody wanting that particular movement.
Your watch might resemble the watches you've referenced (by the way, I do respect you doing your own research), you must understand that the devil is in the details. The font of your watch is all wrong. It's too fat and dark. Compare:
