    I just noticed the Omegamania Serial number chart has date errors at 6M, 7M, 8M and 9M. It goes 1923 then 1920, 1934 then back to 1926. Is there a corrected or better serial number look up table? this second one look good any one know its origin? main253.jpg Omega Serail numbers.png Omega Serail numbers.png

    This was caused by two typographical errors.

    7,000,000 should be “1930”, not “1920”.
    8,000,000 is correct.
    9,000,000 should be “1936”, not “1926”.

    No one is perfect. Not even Omega.

    Now it should make sense.

    As Gatorcpa said, these are only typos. The table is reliable - within a margin of, say, 2-3 years.
