    Dear Omega-folk,

    I need to tap your expertise on this little number:
    1.) Does it look authentic (i.e. not a repainted dial)? The hands and hour markers look appropriate for a 1960, but I've never seen a black dial from that year. Also, I'm assuming that's a replacement crown (unsigned).
    2.) If it is all as described, what do you think would be a fair price for it (I'm considering purchase, not sale).

    Thanks for the help!
    Cheers,

    IMHO an original dial but the crown isn,t. Movement looks clean. Nice one

    Thx. One thing I did notice is that it appears to have lumes, but the dial does not have the "T" (Tritium) designation on either side of the "Swiss Made."

    Interesting, when did they start that practice, mid-60s?

    Seller is asking $750 for this, with the addition of a signed Omega crown (replacement, obviously, not original) and receipt for recent service. Does this seem reasonable?
