    So, up for sale is this little 17.8 Omega.

    Case: SS, overall in fairly decent condition but it has been polished and it measures ~31mm.

    Movement: 17.8. It hasn’t been serviced while in my possession, but it’s keeping good time. I definitely recommend a visit to your watchmaker if you plan to wear this on a regular basis. Honestly, the watch is definitely not pristine, but will make a decent beater.

    Crystal: Good condition, but I believe it’s an aftermarket crystal.

    Dial: Looks kosher. EDIT: It seems to be an old redial.

    Crown: Not signed, but as far as I can tell, this is normal for 1940s 17.8s.

    Price: USD 350 + 35 shipping NOW USD 300 + shipping

    I will ship this watch to the US, Western Europe, Australia, Singapore, HK, Japan via EMS (tracked, usually 5-7 days to most places).

    I've sold some watches to other OF members and if you need any more pictures or any more info, just ask.

    I am not certain if this comment is kosher but for the sake of the forum... I think that this dial has been redone.

    @DirtyDozen12 -- the comment is certainly kosher. If this is the consensus I'll definitely withdraw the watch. Perhaps @gatorcpa might help?

    I don't think you need to withdraw the listing, just amend the description and maybe price. I also favor (older) redial.

    Done -- it makes total sense. I do feel bad about not being aware it was a redial, though. :(
