Sorry - but you are wrong!
Hi gatorcpa,
sorry to say but you are wrong!
I initially wanted to post my response directly below your´s but it was posted a bit lower in the thread.
There you can read about the different chronometer references and especially about the SS crew back cases
which we are discussing now because of the "doubted" example of Darren which is definetly a marriage!
There is no such SS screw back chronometer executed by Omega.
And: compare the case style of the watch on Omegas website with Darren´s case!
There is nothing in common with them! The lugs look very different and they are press in cases - which you can´t see in the pic but you could read in the description!
Please see my explanations in the posting about the References!
kind regards
mac_omega

Omega 30T2Rg - Let's see them.....
Omega's never done better IMHO (okay, maybe the Speedmaster 2998 and a few others....) I had Jack create a clear caseback for this one so that I could enjoy the movement (preserving the original of course). I'd love to see others - newer dials, older dial...
Ok ... Here are two of mine...
Hi .... Its about time people wanted to see some 30T2Rgs...... The one on the left is a 35.5 18k yellow gold snapback and the one of the right is a 35 mm screwback in steel with 14k Pink gold bezel ( never came across another ..)/ Good Hunting Bill Sohne...
Sorry to say...
Hi Darren, I have hesitated for a long time if I should post a response or not - finally I decided to do so.. I do not want to spoil your weekend or to take away your pride on your watch, but - sorry - I have to say it is a so called "marriage" of a cor...
I have to respectfully disagree...
... a quick look at the Omega Vintage Database for Ref. 2364 has the following information: - Other - Gents' leather strap Reference CK 2364 International collection 1943 Movement Type: Manual winding (chronometer) Caliber number: 30 T2 RG Created in 1943...
I'm with Mac......
and while I realize caseback shown is not the original, it is a screw-back. The chronometre case should have a snap back.
These are the references...
It is quite simple with the chronometer references: 1) Firstly press in back: 2364 small (33 mm) with sub second (cal. 30 T2 Rg) 2366 large (35,5 mm) with sub second (cal. 30 T2 Rg) 2365 small (33 mm) with center sweep second (cal. 30 T2 Rg...
omega 30t2rg-sc
can someone expound on the gold case numbers ,for these wonderful movements,and also what about original balances, which, also seems to be some what of a rareity..how often does one find rg's with original balances.. Thank you very much.. Mel..
The balances...
Hi, The balances are cut bimetallic balances with screws and Breguet hairspring as they are found in early Cal. 30, 30 T1, 30T2, 30 SC T1 and 30 SC T2 movement - it is nothing special and they are interchangeable... however in the chronometers they have...
actually that is not totally true...
Hi Erich The balance complete for a 30T2Rg or 30T2SCRg is different. The balance staff is of a higher finish and quality. I would have to assume the balance itself might also be made to a higher standard, but I dont have access to my notes. The standard 3...
That´s interesting...
Hi Bill, that´s interesting - I have learned something new... I thought only the pallet fork, and the "visible" steel parts as regulating device, crown- and ratchet wheel as well as the brass minute wheel (AFAIK) are differently finished. Did n...
You can infer the case ref. number
by the size of the case and whether it is a subseconds or center seconds Rg movement. Take a look at Erich's (mac_omega) very informative post in this thread regarding case reference numbers - chances are it will be one of these four - 2364, 2365, 2366 an...

Please tell...
Hi Mel, please give me some more info: 1) diameter of case without winding crown - either 33mm or 35,5mm 2) does the watch have a sub second dial (second above "6" position) or center sweep second hand? Then I will be able to tell you the reference number...

Haha ! Good to talk of Omega chronmoeters ... here are some of mine
Hi Guys after some emails with Bill about eight years ago ... I couldn't stop. Here are some of my babies, all of them are at least 35.5mm diameter. Best wishes Franco PS: All certified at Omega. N.13 is a very rare snapback in 18KPG, 9 is a rare case for...
Wow, impressive collection, Franco!
I'm so happy to have found a crazier person than me! LOLOL I'm speechless, in front of your collection... That's what I call a very nice, a splendid Thematic Collection! Congrats, and thanks for sharing this oment of pure madness! Nicolas
