·I checked the movement and the serial, it's an incredibly clean 561 with a serial dating it to 1966 - It's obviously been serviced, the new crystal isn't Omega marked, seals seem new, the strap is new and I suspect it's a replica Omega strap? It has 9800090 written on it, I suspect replica as it's my default setting - it's a nice thin strap, the buckle has "STAINLESS STEEL" laser engraved underneath and it's a polished buckle
The hands in my opinion are regular baton hands painted white, their geometry 1:1 matches baton hands, so that solves that mystery
I took a risk with this watch, the sale pictures/listing was honest, it was an estate find, they outlined everything they saw, mainly the crack at the edge of the aftermarket crystal
So up to this, everything points out to a very good re-dial, is it? The dial texture is grainy and the fonts are thin
The thing is, I don't have any of these early dials with the tiny "SWISS MADE" stamps - the 3rd photo is one of those, so in my opinion it matches that dial / typography / sizing
