Hi Derek, nice to see you here.

I guess I should have read the Ranfft page more carefully & also checked in SAGA. Yes it appears that the 266 is a variation of the 30T series movement, which most vinatge collectors will tell you is amongst the best movements that Omega made.

Thanks for clearing that up.
