I am sucker for vintage chronometers and when I saw this pair of 30T2 I just couldn’t resist. For being way older than I am they are both in much better condition...

Congratulation on a wonderfull pair Csbracc. How did they come to you as a pair ? Any thoughts on dial originality ? Yours Jacob/Copenhagen

I bought the pair from the same seller, apparently they were always owned as a pair (not the original owner anyway). I am inclined to believe that both dials have not been retouched. The yellow gold one is in immaculate condition, the steel one has a few ...

You’re right it looks very modern, but that’s because brands are rediscovering their roots

Can't say enough about them (due to my lack of vocabulary *and* an overflow of drool).

I am a bit late to the party...

 
 By: mac_omega : November 6th, 2021-13:30
but I am sorry that I must concur with Art, both dials are incorrect, the silver one had the "Chronometer" wording added later on a well known replacement dial variant which were frequently offered on ebay and watch trade shows (dial of unknown origin). T... 

Thanks much, Erich. Thorough research beforehand . . .

. . . prevents headaches afterwards. Incidentally, I'm wearing one of my 30T2rg chronometers at the moment. Interestingly enough, more than a few originals have appeared recently on the usual auction sites and sales forums . . . this is a good time to be ...
