Good day.. looking at this 1950 omega, there's no pictures of the movement. I've asked the seller, but not sure about the dial. If it's original or repainted. They want nine seventy five, which seems high. Service day, a few years ago, by paul's watches in california. Best to all

I can’t help you with originality but I’d have thought that if you wanted it, you could negotiate a price.

Good that it’s serviced and it’s one of those rare occasions when the assertion that the watch has been ‘serviced’ is or may be actually ‘worth the paper it’s printed on’.

Looks like a nice watch, maybe a little expensive given that the condition is just ok. Depends if you love it, love it, gotta have it ... or you're just, meh.

Just so you have a comparison movement, this is my 351. It’s marginally earlier than yours but only by a hair’s breadth

To me. Maybe an old redial. 6/12 line looks a bit off as does 11:00 index. Could be crystal distortion?

Of the bumper movements. Caliber 351 was probably the most produced of the sweep models

That's a good point Don fortunately to watch is in my home city. So i'm going to look at it personally before making any decisions on buying.And i'm waiting for a picture of the movement.

354 production slightly exceeded 351+352
