FS: Vintage Military WWII Omega WWW 30T2 mvmt - all original

Hello folks,

You should be well aware of this watch if you click on this post. :-)

If you do not, then let me share a few points on this particular watch:

1) Standard Military issue to the British Army during World War II in 1944

2) Built based on MOD standards, where WWW means Water-proof Wrist Watch (no no no, waterproofing test were done in 1944, not 2008, so don't try swimming with it)

3) Equipped with the famous, time proven caliber 30T2, these are workhorse and one of Omega's most successful movements. Oh, this particular one runs fast by a few minutes a day, but should be cleaned by a watchmaker and should do fine. This watch comes with the rare original balance wheel (with "The Cut" in the Compensating balance, if you are not sure with the term, you can email me and ask me.) and blued overcoil Breguet hairspring. Some of these balance wheels have been replaced with newer (and incorrect) ones.

Here is the watch pictures (quick pictures of it):

I have noticed recent prices on the bay for frakened pieces with high prices like USD1,200 or so, and it has been some time since I spot a nice one like this one here. You will be pressed to find anything better than this one in view of the current market, and my offer price is USD 1,500. Please email me for any questions, or send me a counter-offer that I cannot refuse at reficul_x@yahoo.com

Thanks for reading so far and have a great day~
