Thought I would share an incoming omega that I recently purchased.

A 24hr 'military' dial omega chronometer 30t2scrg ref 2367,

This dial is so rare,that the omega museum will be knocking on my door to try and buy it from me
Looks like it was done with a Sharpie. 😁

This one hits the trifecta with worst redial, overpolished piece of shit, and unrealistic expectations.

Prize 1- bad redial

Prize 2- overpolished POS

We all HOPE so!
At least the redialer was consistent. Each numeral turns progressively more clockwise, so I guess if there had been a "6" it would be completely upside down. My personal favorite is the "7" - or is that an "L"? ::facepalm1::

If this is professionally restored I want to see what kind of work the non professionals do.

I have another trifecta piece of garbage here for your enjoyment:

On the menu, we have an absolute piece of shit dial, a bent lug, a polished-to-the-death case where even the Seahorse doesn't want to be seen on this garbage anymore, and a pathetic price expectation.

Also, is that steel and gold plating or just Citadel miniature painting? Who knows? I'm almost tempted to buy it just to make sure this one ends up in the nearest trash as soon as possible.

The back looks weird. It's as if made of some clay putty. The crown looks nice though😀.

Redialler couldn't decide how many minute markers there should be between the hour markers. Three? No, that doesn't look right... Four? Hmm, that's too many, looks crowded. Three was way better. Minutes need space to breathe, to flow. Why not try two? Argh, back to three...

That's real artistic freedom.

The 48 minute hour could be divisive. The legal profession, those billing in 6 minute intervals, would feel short-changed at the end of the day, whereas Trades would reap the benefits. 😁
