·Today, and likely until after New Year’s Eve, my 70 year old (approx.) Omega date at 6 bumper automatic with calibre 355 movement. My late father was a watchmaker/jeweller. I inherited the residue from his business which included a lozenge tin with a Dymo label on it, listing the contents as”Omega parts”. He passed away almost 50 years ago. I rarely opened that tin, but about 5 years ago, I was looking for a centre wheel for a bumper automatic, for a friend. I had the one he needed in that tin, but I also discovered this dial! Further delving resulted in my finding the entire calibre 355 movement (but no case), in pieces, in that tin! I serviced it, and put it aside. I later was contacted by a chap in Madrid, Spain, (thanks again @Tritium), who sold me the case the movement is now in. Don’t ask for dibs on this one. @Tritium owns dibs on this treasure!
