    I think that watch is a redial. To answer your other question, it's not so much the date of manufacture of the movement as it is the model (caliber). The cal. 561 is one of Omega's best, whether made in 1959 at the beginning or 1969 at the end of the production run.

    Hope this helps,

    and be redial you mean reprinted? They state all original, but it's common that sellers with high ratings misrepresent the details ?
    what was the tipoff since the pics are poor quality?

    That one definitely is a redial, and redialed in a wrong way.

    I agree, 561 may be the caliber, it may not, why is the bridge a different colour to the rest of the movement?
    Why is there no shot of hands moving if the watch is working, especially second hand?
    Why has the Ω logo moved to the left of the cross hair?

    I'd pass on it.

    Hvacman, Please remember that "Recommended eBay watches" is not for inquires, but only for watches that you are recommending.
