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.

      What's your thoughts on this Rolex Sea-Dweller, ref. 16600, calibre 3135 project?

      By VWatchie · Posted

      Well, my fundamental stance is that I want to go in and out without leaving any trace other than a shining, perfectly running movement. So, no scratchings on the inside of the case back lid, no marred screws, no debris, no fingerprints, and so on. That is, my goal is to make it impossible for the FBI to track me down. As a professional, I suppose you might want to keep track of returning watches, but as @JohnR725 mentioned, we can keep detailed computer records without marking the watch at all. That may not be true for every watch, but luxury and COSC-certified movements do have unique numbers. John also says it’s best to leave no sign you were ever there, and I couldn't agree more. Now, suppose the Sea-Dweller I'm working on is one day scrapped, and you want to sell the case-back separately (perhaps the case was destroyed in a plane crash). Then the scribbles on the inside no longer reflect the current movement inside the case. Also, the engraving will likely halve the market value of the case back. It had been "sleeping" for about a week and a half. Yes, the "debris/old lubricant" theory is my hypothesis as well! It will be interesting to see what I find once I have time to start disassembling the movement.

      I've repaired a few of these, having some success with stripping and cleaning the mechanism.  They are so cheap though, its hardly worth the effort in many cases.

      A lathe with indexing that won't break the bank?

      Id love to see how he has the output shaft mounted to this setup, as I have the same rotary stage and stepper in my build.

      Broken watch stem in watch crown

      By Poljot · Posted

      If you see at least one thread protruding, or even a half, then you may have a chance using this "tool", but don't squeeze hard. Lot's of patience, and if you notice any signs of loctite or other adhesives, then apply several drops of acetone on top of broken stem. Use heat (hair dryer) also. You should be able gradually turn it counterclockwise, just like i did on this broken Timex stem, which was glued with something like nail hardener. Then you can use an extender to save your broken stem. https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/513DVvkfW5L.__AC_SX300_SY300_QL70_ML2_.jpg   You can also try cutting a small grove / slot on top of the broken stem to use 0.7mm flat screwdriver.   Depending on the Crown material and Stem material, you can try dissolving the stem.
