30 mm chronometres
Hi Jacob....
As others have pointed out ..... talking of pricing directly on the forum is frown upon.... That said...
Why not post pics of the "I have a very good eye on a fantastic speciment" ...... I am personally very interested in what you found .....
Others on the forum can post examples from their collection...
here is a Pre-Rg chronometre from 1941 .... the Rg was introduced in 1943....
Looking forward to what your looking for......
Bill
Warming up to 30T2RG or 30SCRG
Dear Sirs I'm starting to research the 30 mm Omega chronometer watches much more determined, as I find myself wanting one more and more. (here we go againg :-)) Learning more about these great watches at my level is not that difficult,- there is a great w...
Sorry but we don't discuss prices
Jacob, Please refer to our Code of Conduct that states: " Connoisseurship, ownership and collecting is about much more than price and who sells what. Price and seller references tend to overwhelm the other more subtle, though equally important aspects of ...
Nilo is quite right, Jacob . . .
. . . we rarely discuss actual prices on this forum, particularly when they're tied in to a specific watch. It's best that you ask our members for information by private message, which is perfectly acceptable. I'll pass along my thoughts momentarily via p...

Eyes upon this beauty
Hi Bill Thanks for your input,- and what a nice "pre Rg". I suppose it's called pre-rg because of the semi-scientific dial layout (?). The fabulous exampel I'm dreaming and raving about is this; This is creme de la creme as I understand it, and I will sur...
This is creme de la creme ??
Hi I would not go as far as saying " This is creme de la creme " ..... It is a std size 33 mm gold snap back case example .... with a roman Sci dial... It is very nice... but I would think the 35.5 size example might take the " This is creme de la creme "...
Bill's example . . .
. . . is an earlier version of the fabled 30T2SCRg, possibly a 30T1. It's a "pre-Rg" due to the regulator . . . . . . which characterized the "Omega system" for chronometer grade movements. Here's a link to an article . . . . . . Bill posted several year...
It should be a...
Hi Art, I think It should be a Cal. 30 T2, not a T1... kind regards Erich
I wasn't entirely sure about it, Erich. However, the movement number . . .
. . . is close to a pair of 30T1's Hoi posted a few years back. Now I'm really curious to see what Bill has to say! Best, Art
OK Art...maybe it's time to show-off your " creme del la creme" ;-)"
Hell, I'd switch arms and wear your Tiffany dial on one wrist and your black Commie on the other. Miki
hey Miki, you can do better than swapping arms.
i would hold him down on that damn 8 ball table and cut his arms off to get at those 2 and then go through his pockets for his 602 geneve chronometer :) best G
A serial# ...
Art, A serial# in the 10 mil. can´t be a 30 SC T1, and AFAIK there were only 30 T2 movements used in this case ref, either 1) plain "silvered" version but with special finished parts like ratchet wheel and crown wheel, 2) the same with different ratchet w...
I can´t see creme de la creme...
but a non original dial... there are far more interesting chronometers out there! regards erich
Erich , beauty is in the eye of the beholder....
Hi Erich I got this watch back in 2000/ 2001 Up to that time I have not come across a Pre-Rg 30 mm movement. or a ck 2254. so its special to me as it was the first one I found... Franco came across one with the white dial and arched chronometre above the ...
Still unsure about meaning of "pre-rg".
Dear Bill This is a very interesting tread for me, but I have this odd feeling, that something is pasing way above my head. I asked why the watch you showed is called "Pre-rg", and since the movement to my eye looks like any early 30 mm, I thought it had ...
hey.... ok Pre-Rg.... vs Rg
Hello Arkona44 The watch I previously posted in a early 30 mm chronometre from 1941. The 30T2Rg with the Omega system regulator was release in 1943. I have always referred to the 30T2 chronometre grade as a Pre-Rg chronometre due to the fact the Rg was no...
You totally misunderstood...
Hi Bill, You totally misunderstood my post in this thread! My response was concerning the watch shown by Jacob, not your´s... Your watch is delicious and I know the importance of this piece - I have one in my collection too (as you might know...). kind re...
Hi Erich.... I did ont mean to offend...
Hi Erich I did not mean to be hard edge... just beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I did not mean any disrespect to you I just viewed my watch differently. I am also sorry I misread your post. Welcome to the global village were everyone first language ...
