Up for sale is my 1952 2640 with a PERFECT (to my eye at least) “Clous de Paris” dial. The dial is the highlight of this watch – simple and elegant, beautiful particularly as the light catches the indexes and hands. The watch has been in the Omegaforums family 3 times now. I purchased it from George A in 2022, who had bought it from Kapka in 2022. For your perusal I will put the links to both of those sales below.

I am selling the watch as it is seldom worn. I am hesitant to wear vintage anymore being an overly cautious- as I grow old person!

Some of the photos of the watch are mine and I can say that its condition hasn’t changed since the original great photos from Kafka.

To summarise:

36mm SS case in unpolished condition.

Gorgeous dial with gold indexes.

Serviced cal 283, running well. Current accuracy results:

Comes with non-Omega Beads of Rice bracelet.

New original Omega crystal
Price is $US1100 net (PayPal +3%) and does not include shipping from Australia.

Rhetoric is a great seller

Rhetoric is a great seller. I bought a gold plated beads of rice bracelet from him. The communication with Rhett was great, the transaction went smooth and the parcel arrived safely packaged. Thank you for the pleasant transaction!

Rhetoric was a pleasure to deal with

Watch was in excellent condition as described, and communication was great and shipping was quick. More importantly, he was incredibly helpful with me as I don't use paypal often, and he was patient and quick in answering the questions I had regarding sending funds. Would gladly buy another piece again …

Rhetoric--a great seller

I purchased a 1950's IWC dress watch from @rhetoric and couldn't be happier. The watch is just as described, communication was perfect, shipping was quick . Highly recommended.

Rhetoric - Incredible seller but more importantly...incredible guy

I bought my first vintage Omega watch from @rhetoric some time ago. Every time I look at that watch, it reminds me of the amazing experience I had buying it from him. It makes the watch that much more special. As fate would have it, I bought my wife's first …

	Established:	1848
	Website:	https://www.omegawatches.com/
	Country of Origin:	Switzerland

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.
