Nice looking watch.
Clean looking T26.5 movement in a nice case. Not too sure of the originality of the dial, however, the pictures aren't too good. IMHO the subseconds markers should be precisely located at the periphery of the sunken area with no gap, so maybe a non-factory refinish. Still it would be a nice piece for regular wear if you aren't too fussy.
I've recently been wearing my two 30mm Omegas from the 1940s and they're cracking good movements, both still amazingly accurate although almost 70 years old. Also a pleasure to wind every night. One of them is a recent refinish but I still enjoy wearing it.
Identify a vintage Dennison cased Omega
Hi Guys, just wondering whether anyone can confirm if this is worth a buy? According to the seller it's a 1946 Omega movt in a 9ct gold Dennison case. I've already confirmed with the seller that the case and caseback marry up, and the hallmark date on the...

Nice movement
Hi very nice movement, it is of the 30T2 series (look under the balance wheel and you will see exactly which - I would guess a 30T2AM as it does not have parachoc/incabloc. Case is a Dennison, hour hand is a correct leaf hand, the minute hand is a stick h...
Agreed with Steve and Franco, Terry . . .
. . . the dial doesn't look original to my eyes, either. Still, worth getting if you can keep an eye out for an original, which, paradoxically, is easier now than ever due to wholesale scrapping of gold cases. Typically, the movement and dial are packaged...
Sorry, but I must disagree...
Sorry Steve and Franco, but I must disagree about the movement caliber. It is neither a 26,5 (as Steve guessed), which looks completely different - nor a Caliber out of the 30mm line (as Franco wrote) which are similar I must admit. But there are so many ...
Well spotted!
I admit I assumed the movement was T26.5 because of the watch's size without doing due diligence. Over the years I've never seen a T28 so maybe it's somewhat rare. On the other hand I probably ignored most 30mm diameter watches. If the OP likes a smaller ...
Thanks!
Thanks for all of the information guys...been a brilliant help! The vendor says that the concentric circles in the sub second dial are still crisp so that's why they believe it isn't a refinish. I think the markings do go to the edge on the sub second dia...
There are vendors on Ebay that offer vintage movements . . .
. . . with their respective dials, salvaged from cases that've been scrapped for their gold content. Find the movement, and chances are you'll eventually find the dial. That could take years, but it's been done before. I've managed the feat, although only...
You are right !!
Yes - totally right ! After having seen hundreds, without attention I missed the right points to watch! Well done Eric Franco
