Hi Bill,
thank you for your thoughts about restoration!
Yes you are correct - it is an early CK 2254 with OUTER engravings on the back.
The movement is without Rg but has polished teeth of the winding wheels
and the same beveled polished lever (anchre) like the later Rg-movements had!
I know that it was a good purchase as the watch is untouched and totally original.
And I got it for a fair price according to the dial´s condition...
I will try to post some pics in the next few days...
BTW do you know which different dials were used on the 2254 chronometers?
I know this type with the "arc" chronometre writing above the Omega logo.
I have seen 2 other dials where the word chronometre ist written "straight" and
BELOW the word Omega. I suppose that Omega took the dials out of a regular series
and just added the word "chronometre" either in an arc above the logo or straight below
the Omega word. These chronometer references come up so seldom that you can´t tell
what was common and what is correct. Have you got some idea - maybe you know some
more facts about this ... ?
kind regards
erich
