Greetings everyone, 

 

I have recently acquired this old thing. And now I'm having doubts. Is this an original, an early age dial or is this someones improv? 

 

Thank you in advance

Show us the movement. 

I can't find the dial but it looks genuine to me. 

Looks like an early 50s dial. But thought I would ask the experts!

In this case, definitely not an expert but comparing the case and the movement?, it looks correct.  

The case and the movement are definitely correct, at least I think so. The dial is my biggest question. I saw some early era dials that look like this one. The lume is interesting… and if its applied back then, then it makes this piece somewhat a bit more interesting?

I think it is authentic too, have not seen the back though, the dial was probably refinished at some point, there are few 321 Omega tachometer chronos on Ebay currently that look close.....

I probably checked all the images that google had to offer. Not one had such lume. But it looks like one from the early days, so maybe not documented?

Also wondering about its value…

Will add some pictures a bit later. 
 

Also, I will probably go to Omega and ask them what they think.

    • The ones I have opened also do not have a pry point , hence the reason for the tool. The watch is clamped in the tool and a blade is screwed into the seam, the blade being chamfered lifts the back then the screw shaft is turned and the back comes off have a look on Ali express for case back removal tools
    • I don't think I need to know more about the question now, so please don't write anything related to the topic. Thank you to everyone who wrote. Have a nice day.
    • It's an exhibition back so no access as you suggest.
    • I have no experience with this watch, but looking at the pictures from the ebay listing linked above, it looks like the outer metal bezel at the back of the watch may not be part of the case proper.  It looks like the watch and strap are sandwiched together, and an inner case may push out of the rear bezel towards the front of the watch.  A case style similar to the Roamer watches where the crystal, movement and caseback pushed out through the back of an outer bezel, only in reverse - this one may push out towards the front.  To test this, you would need to hold the watch, dial down, supporting the dial side of the watch around the edge of the bezel without touching the bezel itself. Then push down carefully on the inner metal ring you can see at the back of the watch. I’m speculating here, proceed at your own risk. Hopefully someone with hands on experience of these watches can chime in! Best Regards, Mark
    • Thanks, Mark. That's the kind of reassurance many of us wanted to hear! Yes, life is unfortunately unpredictable, and it would be a shame if the many dedicated WRT: ers became stranded if, god forbid, something happened to you and WRT stopped working.
