I think that whole period around WW2 is a big mess and will be tough to figure out. For example, even though Omegas states that the 30T2 was changed to shock resist in 1943 - there are plenty of 30T2 movement with number from 1944 that still have the old balance jewel system. Case in point - the MoD WWW Omegas- had a 30T2 movement, mine and many other examples I have seen dating from 1944 and they are not shock protected.
As far as the plating goes - I have a 30T2 with a 102XXXXX number that is not plated and one with a 105XXXXX that is plated. Based on this I would estimate that the 30T2 got the new plating sometime during 1944-45...
: How about the copper plating? I have a 1943 30
: T2 without copper plating. I know the 30 T2
: rgs were the first to get it, but don't know
: the date.
