First post after lurking for a while.

Purchased a 1952 cal. 410 Omega in 14kt solid gold with a case reference of BX6520.

I’ve spent the last 24 hours obsessively researching Google for advice on the authenticity of this dial.

Yes, refinished dial in a US case. The printing is very poor, sloppy and misaligned. In addition to the font error, look at the hashmarks on the sub-dial, the misregistration of the painted and applied markers, etc.

Certainly refinished. Look at the quality of the font/print on the word ‘Omega’

Redial, missing a case screw and in severe need of a nice leather strap to replace that awful bracelet.
Just wear it and enjoy it.

Damn. I had a feeling.

Now I have to decide whether to return or keep. I paid $900 for it.

That or try to hunt down an unfinished dial.

I know which solution would be easier.

Return it if you can.

Paying 900 bucks to that, I would try to return it.

Sometimes font colouring can fade on the dial so it can be harder to assess, but the finish quality is a good indicator. The marks below are really patchy - some go beyond the sub-second area, some are well within it - and it looks odd. Some are thicker than others etc. Same for the hour marks.
