Finally, a cal 333 in my collection . . .
By: Dr No : January 15th, 2022-00:39
. . . ca '49, powering a ref 2493. This addition essentially completes my Omega chronometer collection - every chronometer movement except one is now represented. Cal 333 was available only in four references: 2493, 2515, 2519, and 2657. (It may also have...
Congratulations are in order.

Quite a collection you’ve assembled of Omega chronometers. Of course, hurray Yankees.
Congrats!

Lovely watch and one marking quite a collecting milestone.

Congratulations on the latest addition to your impressive collection.
Hoping to add at least one more chronometer reference, 2410, to . . .
By: Dr No : January 15th, 2022-03:23
. . . my collection at some point. That's the toughest nut to crack: they rarely show up, and when they do, more often than not compromised beyond the point of acceptability. Here's a photo of a ref 2410 . . . . . . with an incorrect seconds hand and crow...
There are five 30T2rg's in my collection, Nicolas - four ref 2364 . . .

. . . and a ref 2366, which is now at my watchmaker's for corrections to the keyless works. A correct tap 6 crown tube and original stem combined with a vintage Hamilton crown will soon be winding the movement. A prior watchmaker made alterations to fit a...
that ratchet wheel...

Art, did you already replace the ratchet wheel? It hurts my eyes when I see this on an otherwise well preserved chronometre movement. They can be found every now and then...
I need advice
By: Weems@8 : January 15th, 2022-10:33
I see a 1949 2505-8 with the 265 movement. Where to look at? How are the parts availability in the EU? How to recognize Frankensteins? Which year of production of ref 2505-8 are the best? Important, how to wind? Are they sensitive when wound to almost the...
Parts availability for cal 265 is still good . . .
By: Dr No : January 15th, 2022-10:42
. . . so no worries on that account, Weems. Please post photos of the watch so that I can assess originality. As for year of production, there are many dial variations . . . it really comes down to a matter of taste. Any 2505 is better than no 2505.
333 was used in ref 2500
By: mac_omega : January 17th, 2022-08:17
Art, cal. 333 was used in ref. 2500 for sure - I have got one in my collection and I have seen others... regards Erich
