Okay, thank you very much for your advice!

Dear all, I recently trief to know more about this other Omega watch that I have. As it is for the other one (see last thread), I have great difficulties to identify it (as opposed to all my other Omega watches that are quite "standard" or common, so to s...

Getting there...

...Dial looks correct and is a rarer black one. Case is nice, too. Minutes hand is a replacement, don't know if an original can be found. Movement and case reference match up as well. If the price is right, go for it. gatorcpa

I have also been concerned with this strange asymmetry at 6 o clock, even though the dial seems to be original. (it seems that the inscriptions/drawings on the dial are not painted over the dial, but faded on it (see pic 3), so I hardly imagine it could h...
Very difficult to tell...

...from even the magnified photos you've provided. Could be originals, could be replacements. Just can't tell for sure. Don't know what to say about the dial either. I would need to compare it with a known original, up close and in person. This is one of ...
