. . . seconds hand could be a replacement; I believe it should extend further out, closer to the perimeter of the track. and should also have a bit more taper.


Another one I'd love to find locally; these models are noticeably larger than usual, and wear larger, too.  

Cordially,

I am pleased to share with you my new and pristine Omega reference 2505-31 cal. 266. (38mm). According to the serial number from 1954. Elegant, classy and simple, just a beauty! Kind regards...

and welcome your observation about the second hand. I did not notice it. I took a better photograph that maybe allow you to check it. Many thanks for your advice!

just to make sure about the seconds hand if original or a replacement one. Thank you in advance! ...  

I confirm...

Hi Francis, congrats on a fine watch! Art is right - the second hand is far too short to be original... but I think this is not a serious matter, you will find a replacement. regards Erich

Thank you, Erich

for your advice. I hop I can get the original one soon! Kind regards

Thank you, Achim

and you are right, seconds hand is too short. Clearly it is a replacement one as Art also pointed out. I already started the search for an original one. Thank you again for your kind advice!

I will start the search for an original subsidiary seconds hand but I can´t distinguish if it should be a silver o black one. Many thanks in advance! Kind regards

I would think blue . . .

. . . for this reference, Francis. In many photos, the seconds hand will appear black, but that's generally due to a lighting effect. Cordially, Art

Thank you so much, Art

That is why sometimes they look darker, even black. Surely they were originally blue cobalt. Many thanks again! Kind regards

Glad you like it too!

And many thanks for your nice comments. I fell in love with this watch from the first time I saw it, and can´t stop wearing it since then. Kind regards

That is beautiful!

Ah, the London Olympics limited edition . . .

. . . from a few years back - a favorite of mine as well. Omega has performed so many well executed renditions of classic models, like this '48 Olympics SM. The original reference 2846 was styled with Breguet Arabics at 12, 3, and 9, but the larger case u...  

Thank you!

... I feel these type of vintage can give a lot of pleasure and at very affordable cost. Movements are real jewells, very noble, tough and accurate. What else can we ask of them? Well ... yes, they give us much more: charming look and much wearing pleasur...

That´s right, William!

I was also thinking of its previous owner and how much he did take care of it. Now , I must continue with the tradition, keeping it in such a nice condition. Kind regards
