Unidentified Omega (Cal. 265)
Dear all,
I recently trief to know more about this other Omega watch that I have. As it is for the other one (see last thread), I have great difficulties to identify it (as opposed to all my other Omega watches that are quite "standard" or common, so to say).
I ordered an extract of the archives, which I'm still waiting for.
The movement (cal. 265) number is 11612979 and the case number is ST2272-13. The watch diameter is 37mm (without winding crown). On this watch, the dial has the "swiss made" inscription. I could not find any information about any similar watch, fitted such a dial... Watchmakers, and databases, have not been very helpful to me (or maybe I did not know how to search for correct information).
Do you have an opinion about the type/model of this watch? And about it's authenticty? To me the dial seems quite "old school type", to be fitted with a cal. 265...
Again, I took the best pictures I could with the only camera that I have.
Thanks in advance for considering my questions,
Bénédict

Also here we have...
Benedict, also here we have the same: replaced crown restored dial sorry for the bad news. regards erich
What about this one?
Okay, thank you very much for your advice! I also had this one, that I couldn't identify... I hope it may be original at least! : ) ...
Getting there...
...Dial looks correct and is a rarer black one. Case is nice, too. Minutes hand is a replacement, don't know if an original can be found. Movement and case reference match up as well. If the price is right, go for it. gatorcpa
Where is information about original hands?
Ok, thanks for your advice. How should I find how the original minutes hand look like? Thanks, Benedict
Look at your first post...
....it's the only part of that watch that is correct. If only you could put them both together, gatorcpa
Are the hands of both watches really different?
To me, the hands (minute, hour, second) of both watches really seem to be identical! I will try to find a description in the famous giant omega book : )
The hour hands are identical...
...take a look only at the minutes hands. Note that the one on the black dial watch doesn't taper thinner towards the center like the white one. There is a name for this style of hands, but I don't know the name offhand. gatorcpa
My pictures lied. Sorry for the bad quality!
I see what you mean! There are better pictures of the dial I tried to take with my binocular magnifier. I think the hands get thinner toward the center, as they should according to your description. Do these pictures confirm that the hands are correct, or...
Asymmetry
I have also been concerned with this strange asymmetry at 6 o clock, even though the dial seems to be original. (it seems that the inscriptions/drawings on the dial are not painted over the dial, but faded on it (see pic 3), so I hardly imagine it could h...
Very difficult to tell...
...from even the magnified photos you've provided. Could be originals, could be replacements. Just can't tell for sure. Don't know what to say about the dial either. I would need to compare it with a known original, up close and in person. This is one of ...
