IMHO...
Hello fellows,
I must second Ben and Franco!
There is no such correlation between chronometer inscriptions on the movement and the wording "chronometre" on the dial! I have several of them, all mixed with and without movement markings, but always "chronometre" on the dial.
The only exception may be the early SS screw back chronometers which were delivered with chronometer rated AND lesser finished movements in the same case reference, e.g. ref 2254 and there is a cross ref. of ref. 2410 when I remember correctly.
It is quite simple: I seriously doubt the originality of the "plain" dials - most probably they are replacements for rotten original dials...
kind regards
Erich
Chronomètre 30 T2 SC RG – Ref. 2365
This one just came back from my watchmaker's. This is an iPhone snapshot, taken in front of the Revenu Québec Ministry building, adorned in its golden windows… Omega Chronomètre from 1946, Ref. 2365, Cal. 30 T2 SC RG, 16 stones, Serial No 10661846. Case ø...
thats a really nice looker in pretty original condition Francois
its nice to see that the dial has been left as it is warts and all. i'd be proud to own an example like that. best Graham
a real classic..
..perfect for you to proudly own and show such a vintage. Right now, I personally find the Roman numerals (classical fashion at the time) looking a bit 'stiff ' and 'strict ' - slightly preferring the more 'rounded ' looking Arabic numerals. BTW this is t...
Your caseback…
…looks so much cleaner than mine! That is the seller's picture… It has been cleaned since. Thank you for your comments!
How about the movement ?
Would you please share the pics of the movement. After having a look the the face, the rear, I'd like to have a look of the heart. Regards.
Oh well… again: seller's pic…
And, for the sake of thoroughness, a squirrel: ;-) Have a good day! François...
FANTASTIC
What a beauty, In lovely condition all round, with a lovely looking dial. and rather unusual, for being in 14k. Thats a watch I would love to own. Rishad
Dial and movement matching.
I've been collecting the Rg's over the years and I found something interesting in dial and movement matching. The ones without "adjusted five positions and temperatures" on the movement come (into my possession) without "Chronometre" on the dial. Some fri...
That is quite..
That is quite a bold suggestion you are making Hoi. The majority of Rg-movements that I' ve encountered have no 'adjustments' marking and yet 'chronomètre' on the dial. Unless of course when something was changed at a later stage in life. I'm not men...
Can't see this correlation in my Rg's ....
Hi I also collect Omega Rgs, and I currently have about17 of them. I have some with and some without the "adjustment" inscription. While I agree that the inscription relates to movements produced later, I do not see that those without the writing lack the...

Agree... no corrolation
Hi I also agree with the collective minds of Erich , Franco and Ben. Always a chronometre signed dial... The only exception is the 2254 I have with a black lum dial. I posted it previous here... Omega confirmed its a 30T1SC chronometre produced before the...
franco, good to hear from you ! what do you guys think....
about this one ? right case reference ? correct pattern with the steel/gold dial ? just let me know. kind regards. achim Hi achim , going forward please no off site links.... If you want to show images please ad them directly in your post. I stripped them...
Ciao Achim
Ciao Achim, hope you are very well. the one in the link IMHO is all correct, except teh dial which is an obvious repaint. Nice movement (which checked in Omega should result in a 30T2Rg, ref. 2364), correct case 2364=subseconds, 33mm; 2365=central sec, 33...
thanks, franco ! spot on, as always.....
yes, everything is well. so many rare watches to buy; so little money left. bought a few rare rail- & speedmasters lately. what do you think about the current chronometre´prices for 30T2RG, franco ? the euro 900 seems quite cheap to me . maybe i´m out of ...
mmmmhh
Hi Achim I personally think that the gap between a spotless and correct Omega chronometre and one with problems is widening. Previously there was more chances to find great examples at reasonable prices, now the ones which are perfect, and with a nie orig...
Franco is right as usuall..
Hi Achim, I second Franco! All right with this chronometre except dial and crown (most probably a later replacement). There are so many chronometers out there and the sellers pretending that they were all original... most of them are not... The pric...
Waouw Pretty 30T
What a find a nice condition Chronometer Francois Pretty rare piece indeed Great find Best Hans
what do I think?
What do I think, Francois? I think it's the most beautiful 30t2 RG I know. If you ever, ever, consider to sell it, please do contact me (robertdulmers@) Most sincere regards from Amsterdam, robert
