That truly is an 'unicum'
Splendid find Bill !
Somebody has gone into a lot of effort to shape it like a (British) WWII milit.watch. I've seen 30mm pocket watches in SC-version but not Rg-chronomètre. Your serialnumber 11'34 is actually surprisingly high in my opinion, most are somewhere between 9'8 and 10'5 M. Perhaps it used to be a very late Rg model exported to S.America, that for whatever reason lost it's casing and got eventually modified. It's history would be most interesting to know!
Simple and effective to fold that "horseshoe" downward when wearing: out of sight and it does not bother you. Enjoy!
Ciao, Ben.

It works well..
Hi Ben The folding over of the bow works like a charm... I was thinking of replacing the crown and stem for an onion crown style.. but the current crown is Omega signed and I did not want to modify it from its original !! hahahahahahaha I would also love ...
Barrel bridge....
Hi, barrel bridge very likely is changed - so movt. ser. nr. very likely is from a different 30mm movement - otherwise Omega would have cheated with the movement engravings :-) Or, there might be a hidden jewel somewhere ..... Best regards Suitbert
did not notice that....
Hi thanks for the point out.... I was focused on the drive train and balance parts when I was buying it... I knew it was a recase.... if the s/n plate is a replacement does not make a difference to me. Best bill
