·So I’ve been sitting on this supposedly military omega for a while as it needs a balance wheel this is watch in question
I made a thread about this a while back asking about its authenticity and got some mixed responses so maybe some different people see this one.
I’ve recently just received this another 30sct2
a blind purchase with no movement photos and got lucky exactly what I need but now having second thoughts about what to do I don’t really what to destroying this one just for a balance wheel
I believe this has been put in an aftermarket case probably was due to age or got damaged etc.
The movement is in excellent shape and keeping very good time but I am a little concerned on how good the hands are and the dial what are your thoughts ?
could this have had a redial at some point with some NOS hands or is original
My question is ,
should I put this balance wheel in my other watch and get that working,
Swap over the movements and dials and have the better dial in a correct omega style case
Or leave them alone and try and purchase another military style case and bin the other and wait and see about getting just a balance wheel to repair the other
My projects box is getting bigger and bigger but can’t turn a very good price as opportunities don’t come around often for these old watch’s
how would I go about getting the omega with the damaged balance in the first pictures authenticated ?
as if it’s genuine I really don’t want to be messing about with it to much definitely not swapping dials and hands.
Somebody did mention that the underside of the dial should have some engravings or something?
Thanks
Looking forward to your thoughts
