What do they tell you?!
Hi Erich,
Glad to have been of service - have they told you anything useful?
I didn't get a PM from you, feel free to send an email instead if that's easier. sboreeves at gmail dot com.

Movement number disparity

Hi Bill, Cheers for that reply - that's a really nice watch that you have, I've seen a couple of military watches with the dark dial. I was interested to see that although the production date on yours is later than mine and so is the case number, for some...
We should be prepared...

Hi Simon, Hi Bill and all the others who are interested in 30 mm Omega chronometers. This is an interesting find... And there is no doubt about the authenticity as it is well documented by Omega. As we knew already for the EARLY 30 mm chronometers (in sim...
More Pictures as Requested

Hello everyone, It's really exciting to hear more info and postulation about the watch, it's also very interesting to hear about other similar Omegas from the 1940s. Nobody else seems to have heard of that case reference either so I'm pleased to have brou...
Measurements
By: simonr : January 6th, 2011-05:20
Hi there, Good news - I've borrowed a digital caliper from one of the engineers at work and have made the following measurements. They're pretty reliable, except B and D because I couldn't get the jaws of the caliper in past the bevelled surface to make a...
after comparison..

.. with a ck2244 from 1948 I arrive at the same conclusion as Erich, there is virtually no difference between the 2192 and 2244 dimensions. Funny, was half & half expecting the 2244 snap-on back to be slightly more bulbous (because of the SC-movement), bu...

Hi Ben, thank you for chiming in... your comment is much appreciated! So it seems as if we "cracked the nut"... BTW your example looks very fine indeed - have you changed the dial or hands? I do not recall exactly how it looked when you sent me a picture ...
jolly good..

..Erich, always much appreciating your input. And very nice to meet Simon's little known ref.2192 here. Concerning the 2244: no, nothing was changed, although I have an attractive Rg work ready to be 'plunged' in. Still looking for a suitable 'chronomètre...

Hi Ben, I think I know what you mean with the 23,4 SC - I had one on my radar just recently... was it on the "bay" ? I decided not to buy it because of the small diameter, but I recognized the same case design like a small brother of 2244... Kind regards ...
Plans for the future
By: simonr : January 6th, 2011-07:07
Hi Bill, Yeah - I don't know of another watch forum where the discussion gets this detailed. It's kind of funny because on the first forum where I posted about the watch, the consensus was that it was just a run-of-the mill Omega and not worth bothering a...
Here's a theory...

"During WWII Omega exported a large part of it's production via Portugal - wondering if this was the final country of destination?" My guess is probably not. I've received some documentation from Omega saying that some of the "U.S. Army" watches (Ref. 217...
Maybe they have..

Maybe they have misread (shock absorbing system) PC for PG Graham? If a movement picture shows the Incabloc-spring on the balance-pivot and no micro-regulator, well then you know enough: no Rg chronometer version... cheers, Ben.
