Is there any chance this is real? Flash made the obverse look shiny but its an identical finish as the front.
If its fake I'd love to know the points showing why for the future.
Hello all,
I pulled this out of my storage recently, and to be honest I cannot remember when or where I got it.
Is this watch as rare and collectable as I think it is? It seems to be all original i.e. movement, case, crown, dial etc. and is in amazing, seemingly unpolished condition. I have been told a reference with the combination of movement and physical features, in its current condition, is a true "rarest of the rare" and a collector's grail watch for WW2 era military watches? I have also been advised it is a museum grade rarity and condition? Surely I didn't have something this rare sitting in a box forgotten.... There seems to be no existing versions of this watch in any open, public digital archives but is a legitimate Omega configuration with less than 200 models ever produced but not confirmed and no publicly confirmed surviving versions and may possibly now be a 1 of 1?
I have done some research and found the following:
Year: 1944
Reference: 2300/7
Movement: 23.4SC
Serial: 10495973
Case: 30mm stainless steel with rose gold bezel
Dial: Gold/copper alloy plated brass with black bullseye / sector two-tone dial
Buckle: 1950's / 1960's replacement Omega buckle?
Due to the features, the central seconds movement, two tone gold alloy plated dial and year of manafacture it seems to be a high end, final iteration of the "Medicus" family from Omega produced mostly for military medical personal and officially Omega's very first center seconds movement ever produced. This was allegedly also one of the last models to use the 23.4SC calibre before changing to the calibre 310 in the mid-late 1940's.
What the hell do I do with this this thing 🤣🤣
Sold me a canopy with rooftop platform and everything was faulty, multiple leaks, light replaced twice because they aren't waterproof and locks failed 4 times. Check his response in the text below. Absolute scumbag thief
They tried to repair it so many times and they absolutely refuse any warranty returns
Buggers are making me take them to the ACCC and Consumer Affairs to get my money back.
Hello everyone, juat wanted confirmation on which Lemania movement this is and the missing part is called the "driving wheel"? Does anyine know the part number so I can track down a replacement?
I beleive this is either a 13ch or a 15TL?
The brightest lume I have by a very long margin, can't show it in photos but it glows in full sunlight.
What is everyone wearing today?
I found these is an old box and I have no use for them. If anyone here is looking for any NOS hands for a vintage Seikosha or other model let me know. No use them rotting in a box here. Trades would be good, or free to anyone who wants to pay postage and needs something specific for a project, they are not for sale.
Most of them are blued but some look to be brass or similar metal.
There is also about 1000+ loose blued and brass hands if anyone is looking for something specific let me know and I'll see what's in there.
Hello all,
I was hoping someone might have one they want to part with. My dial is too far gone and I don't really want to get it repainted.
I was going to attempt cleaning but the paint is already peeling so its a lost cause.
If anyone has a good condition dial please reach out!
I have a few very nice condition Omega (and other) dials if a trade is a better option?
Allegedly an original dial but with my eyes these days I can't tell as I'm near blind 🤣 my eyes are getting worse every week unfortunately and I struggle with the fine details as my my digital magnifier broke and I'm waiting for a new one to arrive 🤣. I can see the G in Omega looks a bit off but it seems to have corrosion under it?
I know the case has been polished a bit but I still like it.
Traded a 70's DeVille today for these two 80 year old girls, both from the mid-1940's.
Both running Movado Cal. 45 and run perfectly +/- only a few seconds.
The salmon sector dial is absolute 🔥 in person but my photography is so bad it looks like a pile of horse shit 🤣🤣
Tiffany is 33mm and Cartier is 34mm
Does this look good or is it another Fugazi? Its literally in my cart ready to buy right now 🤣🤣
I have wanted one of these for a very long time and finally found a "reasonably" affordable one, don't want to miss out if its real!!
The shape is right, the twisted lugs (not on the modern repros) are right, the movement and caseback are spot on. The bezel I'm 75% certain is good, I'm not sure about the dial but I can't see any of the red flags I've been told to look for.
I know this is one of the Omegas with insane amount of hobbyist made versions but the serial, movement, case etc. are all right, I just can't confirm the bezel and dial are correct. They look good to me but I'm a bit blind and have only seen 2 real ones in my life.

Is there any chance someone has a trashed dial or some old hour markers to match the picture in thier magic drawers 🤣
Picked this up cheap because it was missing one and hoping to not have to buy a complete dial just for 1 hour marker!
Pulled this out of one of my storage boxes this week, didn't even know I had the thing. I was thinking about selling it and have seen recent sold prices from $850 (plus auction 20%) to $2,100.
Does anyone know what a fair asking price for this model is, I'm aware its a very rare dial, and even rarer for dials with no cracks or spidering in the enamel and this one is about as perfect as an old dial can get. its a bit dusty but in amazing condition.
Any advice would be great.
