    Wanted to see if I can get few more eyes on this watch. Only 2 pics unfortunately, so it is hard to tell if all is good or not from the outside.

    Looks like it is a stepped dial, which it should be.
    Hands looks like they have been changed
    Non original/non omega bracelet
    Font looks like real deal on the case back comparing to google pics I found
    Case back has dashes and not dots like fakes do
    XI has top and bottom serifs which they should

    I'd ask the seller for a better photo of the dial before purchasing - it's hard to see whether it's stepped or not there

    From what I can see, it's the rarer of the straight writing case backs and if it has a step, the dial looks nice. However, the bezels poor and the case looks like it's had a few polishes. Furthermore the pics aren't great and you need more of them to make an informed decision.

    From first glance, it looks ok, not great. Might be better or worse in real life.

    Thanks for the info. While watch looks to be sold, information is still good for future use.

    The different conditions of the watch vs caseback raises a flag to me. Also need a better dial picture as already stated. Hand lume vs dial seems off but may be the lighting.
