Hi' just picked up this Calendar- sold from HK as a 2992-2SE, but I'm not sure that is correct.
Is it? What about the bracelet, correct?
Was purchased after an OF pal thought the price was right. Actually not sure I'll keep it as Omega classics aren't my thing any more.

Funny, I picked up a 2992 recently too. Was going to post once I polished the crystal.. but preview below. These aren’t very common in my experience.

I think yours is correct and from 1958, based on the big logo caseback. Bracelet is correct enough at least. Crown is a later replacement.

I don’t have a photo of mine handy, but the original one would have had a flat foot logo, whereas yours as the little curves upwards on the bottom of the Omega symbol. Not a big deal by any means..

Dial looks like an old refinish to me.
Look at the second markers at 6 vs 12. And the font looks incorrect.

See what you mean at 6 but I have a feeling might just be the angle in which the photo was taken.
I personally don't think it has been redone and from what i can see the fonts are correct, maybe fixed at some point
ill send better pictures when it arrives.

When I access fonts, I should be able to visually (or use Photoshop) overlay the dial and have an absolute match to other examples.
Here this would not work as the fonts are quite different (look at the 's' and 't' in comparison "-ster").
If you cannot find other examples (the more samples you have, the better) with the exact dial font, then that lends more confidence in a redial.

This, unfortunately, does not work for very good redials. Those require more knowledge.
