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 mentioning here the very early steel chronometers in 1943 which were still without the dedicated Rg cosmetics. As I understand it was Norman Morris who asked the factory for somewhat more 'bling' or gadgets to visualise where the customer's money was spent on. Perhaps Erich has an opinion about this? For instance: is there a particular year from which plates were engraved with the extra 'adjusted' message and was it only for a particular market (USA) or for all countries?
Indeed a very attractive dial that you are showing, I like it ! Thanks for the pictures Hoi.
cheers, Ben.
a real classic..

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 "chrono...

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...
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...
