A few years back on the now defunct dwf.cc, i raised the question about this watch. No one had ever seen one but Omega in the " vintage watches" section of their site did indeed list a Time Computer II in white goldfill, they even had a pic of one.The reference was "GF396031 on the base 196.0039- "GF" denoting "white goldfill 80 microns" (yellow goldfill is GD,ST stainless steel, solid 18ct yellow gold is BA). The new crappy all singing all dancing site doesnt list it. Looks like you may have a real rarity there

Thanks for the info,I couldnt believe it when I first looked at it but knew I had something special and decided to get the watch restored back to its factory condition-so its on its way back to Omega Switzerland hope they do a good job as the case has a nick in it,I'm sure it will be no issue for them once I get it back I will post new pictures.

I thought the whole Time Computer range was on Omegas "we wont touch them now" list along with some noticeable others ,the Marine, Megaquartz, F300 etc And i cant see how they will repair the ding without replating the watch. The "white" gold (actually a dullish grey colour) maybe 80 microns but the outer finish is rhodium, a couple of microns thick at best

Yes after speaking with Omega Canada they stated that if they cant do the work it they will send it to Switzerland to be replated can only go by what they mentioned hopefully everything goes well and the watch will look like it did 30+ years ago.
