Incoming!
Just got this 1940s Omega with 30T2 movement, pretty good condition. Need to give it a service and a new strap, then it's good to go
I believe it's 32mm, perfect size |

Awesome. The 30T2 is a classic but I think you already know that.

Thanks mate
Just ordered two straps from Crown & Buckle, a grey nato and a forest green perlon. Can't wait to see how they fit Then just needs a new plexi, mainspring and some tender loving care |

Congrats Bas!
Is that the third wheel on top of the train bridge? Is it normal to be above the bridge on vintage watches? (I obviously no nothing about movements, but it looks cool and strange to see the wheel above the bridge like that.) |

Thanks guys!
Nice Quote:
Yep the third wheel has an extra long pivot, this extra third wheel is pressed fit on that pivot and drives the seconds pinion. This was very common back in the day, the Rolex cal. 15×× has it as well |
