Based on what?
Hi Suitbert,
What is the basis of your opinion that this ref. (2996) has existed also as Seamaster?
On one swedish site there is "transformed Ranchero" for sale www.kaplans.se

Hi Dwndler Overall a very nice watch . Ranchero sweep seconds case. I also like the Omega singed band and buckle. As G stated if it had a Ranchero dial and hands... it would be a lot more valuable. Your question is the dial original to the watch... I cant...

Hi, firstly a warm welcome to the forum! If I were you I would request an extract from the Omega archive before you invest in a (probably) expensive original Ranchero dial. First you must be sure that this particular movement belongs to this case, and - i...
How to do so?

Thank you very much for having me here. What is procedure for asking for an extract from the Omega archive? Is there some link or something? I tried once to ask them soimething on vintage site and answer was nothing I could use and I waited a month or mor...
hi Dwndler, i'll add...

hi Dwndler, i'll add a little bit more as i'm possibly wrong on my first opinion the black ranchero is the most common so if your going to change it finding a white dial will be difficult and also a black dial is easier to refinish so a lot of hurdles to ...

Hi Dwndler, this is the link you need: www.omegawatches.com m You will have to pay CHF 75 for it, but afterwards you will know if case and movement match. Just fill in the movement number in the form - if you get an extract with the correct Ref.# you will...

omega computerizes this and this can be done strictly online with the certificate sent to you in PDF form. In addition, I hope omega also gives a lifetime or yearly pass where you pay a set fee and can access the system multiple times. This seems to me a ...

that was a quick answer, not the one you wanted perhaps, but quick nonetheless. i think finding a Ranchero dial will be very difficult as they werent produced in profuse numbers. perhaps you should contact an Omega authorised watchmaker to see if the dial...

Hi, imho this is all original - i.e. this ref. existed as Ranchero and (perhaps even more commonly) as Seamaster - with more or less plain dial and "normal" hands. I've seen many of those normal Seamasters (btw. sweep center and small seconds) - in consis...

...personal experience. I've seen far too many normal Seamaster dial watches with this ref. IMO it is very unlikely, that all those (otherwise very "consistent" watches, i.e. dial/hands/movement... consistent age/ status...) in fact were "modified" origin...
