hello, I need to ask for advice for two watches which I inherited! Actually I have no idea which models these are. I would really appreciate to get any information about these watches. Many Thanks in advance
Omega cal 265 with 18k gold case from sometime around the mid 50's. that dial is in pristine condition and I don't think it's been messed with...lovely piece. The Aradam Chrono is not a brand I'm familiar with https://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/36479117_aradam-chronograph-switzerland-around-1945 this one sold for 450 pounds and gold plate isn't as desirable as stainless steel. Lovely thing to have though.
Omega has a non Omega case, probably South American. Dial refinished, sub-dial has lost it's crispness and would likely have had second track not the cross.
There you go- experts have spoken... I can’t seem to get it right...generally if the dial is too perfect and it comes from the 50s early 60s then a redial or refinish is more likely... I was lured by the bone patina... so glad I don’t hunt or collect these sort.
