Omega

a friend of my sisters is very interested in buying a watch from 1958, the year he was born. he got hooked on the idea when we spent several hours and beers together earlier in the year and reminds me everytime i see him. he loves my speedmaster 'replica' so i looked for a speedmaster and found one in a location i will not divulge for £28k !!!!!!!! personally i think thats ridiculous, but i also found a rose gold 320 calibre chrono in superb condition with original box and papers for a much much more reasonable price. the case ref is OT 2872 11. it all looks very nice, but it has black hands. just plain black including the sub dials. are these original ???

i will post a pic if needs be, deleting any ref to the seller of course.

i thank you all in advance.

...online, both in the UK oddly enough:

Both have the same black hands, so my guess is that they are original.  If either of these are the one your friend is considering, I apologize, but these are the only two of this reference that I could find online.  It is possible that these are the same watch, as the serial number information is incomplete on both webpages.

Hope this helps,
