·I understand this is an early 1960s perhaps late 1950s vintage Omega with an unusual dial because usually the 6, 9, 12 are not on there. Can someone help identify this?

Looks like this watch with the exact 1st photo was listed about 5 years ago, which should VERY much concern you.

·Well spotted. Picture is poor quality but you can see a circular ring on dial which looks like damage from hand drag. I would stay away for that reason. It’s not a rare dial nor uncommon reference better examples are findable. Not sure if prior appearance on OF is necessarily bad sign? If you like this reference look for sharp lugs and steel is preferable to GC IMO.

·The crown is totally different, so I don't think it is the same watch. However, thanks for the information that this is not a rare model

·I have had this watch for over 10 years and I did not post this before. However, could it be that my crown is not original???

·Crowns can be changed at service etc.
Anyway, whilst Arabic dials (either full or at 15 min intervals) are less common than baton indices, they’re not rare and don’t really add any value. Maybe 5-10% over a standard baton dial if anything. Condition is much more important.

·The first photo is a different watch than the other photos, so I'm not sure what game the OP is playing.

·Yes, I don't know who posted the first photo. My photos are the 2.,3,.4. Any ideas on value. The watch was recently fully serviced and is running like the wind

·You are the only one who could have posted those photos. The dial especially affects the value, and we can't evaluate it from those poor photos. If you could show better photos with the hands moved, we could give you better feedback.

·
That 3-400 is probably VERY optimistic as a result.

·I have had this watch for 10+ years. I don't think its the same. Also look at the crowns, which are different
Why don’t you post good photos of YOUR watch and clarify this confusion please.
