Extract from archives

Has anyone had an extract procured? I don't need the full authentication (where you send watch in for full breakdown and verification) , but think an extract would be cool. I have an early 50s watch that I have always liked. I filled out the easy form online, case number, movement number, some pictures. Then got pinged it said not available in your country (usa). I thought that was weird. Anyone have luck with this in usa? As an aside, had anyone had a unique piece made by omega? My watch resembles the new tresor with no date and gold hands.. kinda would be cool to have one made. I see piece unique with VC, PP, chanel.. never heard omega doing it. Posted this 6 yr ago, here another scan..

. . . or 283 movement. I doubt it's an American model, which would leave us at either (a) Omega's records are incomplete, or (b) the movement was swapped out in the past. In the event it is an American model, which can be discerned by an OXG stamping on t...  

Lovely watch.

I love the hands and numerals on that! For mine I just want extract as interesting for history. I got this watch cheap not worth selling. Plus I love that it has been here mayhe 70 years! I just thought it was odd they couldn't get an extract in USA? Are ...

. . . although I asked for the extract thru my local Omega boutique, and not online - perhaps that's where the problem lays. Your ref 2506 was produced entirely in Switzerland, so it would be unusual for Omega not to have a record. Try asking your local O... 

Thanks for the info
