Up for sale is my 1947 Omega 2474-2 with cal 28. This one is fairly uncommon.
The dial: Vertically brushed dial with a very nice handset and blued seconds sweep hand. In most light the dial looks almost mint, but there is spotting throughout and a few marks.
The case: Sharp and unpolished. Original crown. Original crystal was pretty crazed so it was replaced with an older Omega crystal. I will include the original crystal. Measures 33mm with a 17mm lug width.
The movement: A nice cal 28, runs and sets, but service history unknown. This one should be serviced for daily wear.
Asking $1300USD head only including insured shipping worldwide from Vancouver, B.C.
Returns accepted only if grossly misrepresented, international final.
Payment via wise.
A few iPhone shots:
A shot with the original, crazed crystal (and before the removal of some heavy wrist cheese):
Thank you for looking and OF for the space,
Amrit

Founded at La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland in 1848 by 23-year-old Louis Brandt who assembled key-wound precision pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen. He travelled throughout Europe selling his watches from Italy to Scandinavia by way of England, his chief market. After Louis Brandt's death in 1879, his two sons Louis-Paul and Cesar, troubled by irregular deliveries of questionable quality, abandoned the unsatisfactory assembly workshop system in favour of in-house manufacturing and total production control. Due to the greater supply of manpower, communications and energy in Bienne, the enterprise moved into a small factory in January 1880, then bought the entire building in December. Two years later the company moved into a converted spinning-factory in the Gurzelen district of Bienne, where headquarters are still situated today. Their first series-produced calibres, Labrador and Gurzelen, as well as, the famous Omega calibre of 1894, would ensure the brand's marketing success.
