1969 Racing dial, real or fake/franken

Need some help on this .....


The Serial number on the movement 29XXXXXX seems about right as done this type of dial markings and hands variation. At least, I have seen this variation of a 1969-70s racing speedmaster hand set. They are asking aroung $10,000 us which would be a huge bargain given auction prices in the past year.....However, that would not be a bargain based on pricing from a year or two ago...just thinking out loud. Any help would be great as I need to make a decision in 2 days...thank you so much! Also the lack of a step dial concerns me


Reply from shop "Hello, Thank you very much for your interested in #8466 OMEGA.
We purchased this item from our customer. This watch dial is no step down dial. At 1969'S omega manufactured every one called racing dial model.
2 kind of types dials ( old step down dial and no step down dial ) OMEGA S.A. they attached 2 kind of types dial ( old and new ) to the same age watches.
Do you have an any other questions, please do not hesitate to ask us."

Well, the hands are incorrect. Those are for the Mark II line. That would be me on alert and want to triple check everything else very carefully.

No expert here, but the Omega symbol seems to have been over-printed (in both pictures), suggesting maybe a standard no-step dial was just over-printed.

That's a real one that Fratello had posted on their blog. Can we play "Spot the differences"? Seriously the people trying to sell that to you for $10K are rip off "artists". Artists is in quotes, because that assemblage is a pretty piss poor job and not artistic whatsoever.

Even cropped as is, the zero of the 90 should be visible if it was the same bezel like on Fratello Watches' photograph as it almost touches the white index on its right :

And you can tell from looking at the 70 that it is incorrect - the only Dot below 70 and DO 90 bezels are fakes.

Actually, I saw this watch in this July in Tokyo and one of the sellers there admitted that the dial is not correct because it doesn't have a step. The dial appears to me a racing dial Japan limited version sold in 2004.

I don't think it's from a 2004 - it looks like a badly painted faked dial to me. The Omega symbol was clearly white and then printed over with orange.
