Evening all,

Wondering your opinions on the watch below, it looks in great condition but people in this forum have a much better knowledge than me so I’m wondering whether everything looks in order or whether I’m missing anything?

Seller claims all original other than possibly the dial.

Thank you all in advance.

I'm just a novice enthusiast and by no means an expert, but the dial looks good to me aside from possibly being relumed along with the hands (I could be wrong but that's not usually the color of 70 year old lume, from what I've seen). It doesn't look repainted to me, unless the seller meant it was originally from a different watch? It looks okay for this reference from my limited experience, though. The crown is incorrect, but not a deal breaker.

Thank you Henry, your knowledge is likely far better than mine so I appreciate you taking the time to share it, very new to this but I’ve become somewhat obsessed by owing a piece of omega history, just want to make sure I’m not making an expensive mistake that’s all!

This is my 2767=6 for comparison.
Also from 1954, with a 354 movement.

The dial seems original and in very good condition bar the relume. Whether this is an issue is personal preference as such white lume does contrast significantly against a vintage watch

I don't know what you're paying for it but there's no mistaking that that's one heck of a nice vintage Omega 👍
