This is a watch I am considering purchasing. I would appreciate you opinion on it's authenticity. My concern is the dial, specifically the subsecond area. My limited experience tells me that it should have concentric rings. I can't see them. I also do not have access to the watch in person to verify. I am told the watch is original with no previous restoration work completed. Any insight you can offer would be greatly appreciated.   | ||

The dial looks original to me, though not in the best of condition. However, what makes you think the movement is that of a chronometer? What caliber is it? | ||

28.10 RA is what I am told. Case reference is 2499. Omega's vintage reference section shows reference 2499 to be a chronometre grade movement. Did they print that on the movement in the late 40's?  | ||

28.10 RA should be under tha balance wheel. The case reference # would not be on te movement. | ||

So, is it your opinion that the watch is genuine? Also, assuming that I purchase this watch. Do you offer restoration services on a movement that is this old? | ||

Assumning it is in fact a 28.10RA, the watch looks genuine to me. I do offer movement services, but no dial refinishing. If interested, please contact off list, thanks. |
