14381?

Yes, it was. Authorized dealer of course.

So, they didn't send it off to Omega, I guess.

I always appreciate your expertised insights.

I've checked. No, no ref or serial numbers, just a receipt for 'workmanship'. It cost 150, not 120 (my mistake earlier). The place in question is an Omega authorized dealer in Malta.

May I ask what's going on here? Is there some long standing disagreement between you two?

To me, the dial fonts look fine but, the applied "Omega" has been damaged. @OMEGuy do you think the applied logo and symbol were removed to apply the cross hair? Just trying to understand what you think you are seeing.


150 euros wouldn't buy you anything much at an Omega service centre. It sounds like you've given it to an Omega dealer who looked at it in house and just regulated the watch so, it would be worth clarifying if they stripped, cleaned and rebuilt the movement. If not, the parts will probably be wearing themselves out. It looks a nice watch and I hope you enjoy it.

Cheers, Chris

The actual question is: which of the banned profiles that didn't come as far as the current one did start to piss of @efauser and others with good memory? Yes, you missed out on some awkward events here.

The actual question might also be: who contributes on this forum in a constructive way.

Probably the person that doesn't cry "REDIAL" every time a watch is posted...

F Falzon

Regarding the first bit, I'd be surprised if the cross-hairs were deceitfully applied. This watch had been lying in a drawer for decades. I think also the fuzzy-ish cross-hairs and dial defects are actually visual artefacts, the result of wear on the (correctly Omega-stamped) crystal.

Actually, I wasn't clear as I don't think the cross hairs were applied later but, was trying to find out what @OMEGuy was commenting on. The applied logo appears to be damaged but, that's not a big issue for me.

I'd change the crystal as the tension ring is marked with corrosion but, then I'd also change the seconds hand. If you still have scratches on the crystal, which it appears you do, try polishing it with Polywatch and it will be significantly improved and show the dial much better.


As usual 😁😁. Intriguing!

Welcome @Falzon

very nice Connie you have there.
yes, the Omega logo has been messed around with at some point (cack-handed watchmaker during historical service?) but otherwise the dial looks all correct.

Nice case and great 5-row BOR as a bonus.

The rusty seconds hand is absolutely typical of this reference (but I am surprised the furry bits weren’t at least cleaned off during service - which makes me doubt the service somewhat )
