··ΩF InvestiGatorIt is impossible to say for sure that a dial is original from low resolution pictures on an internet forum. You must examine it in person.
There is one good sign that I see. The dial has “Swiss” rather than “Swiss Made” at the bottom of the dial. This, coupled with an “OXG” import mark on the movement would indicate a U.S. market watch.
However, since we cannot see the movement…😬

·Case looks very sharp, OXG and Swiss match up, nice watch. I am uncertain of font on coat hangar S
Here are 3 coat hangar S examples that have more slope than OP example. This one may be ok wait for experts opinion.

·If you search, there's at least one thread that compiled all of the Seamaster fonts. I don't have it bookmarked.

·EDIT - I just posted this before seeing the video someone posted about this watch so I stand corrected on the crown! Perhaps someone can shed light on why I found that?
Nice looking watch. I think the dial is original. The S is the only thing that stuck out to me but as someone else said there’s lots of variation.
The only thing incorrect is the decagonal crown which belongs on a Connie. A quick search of the ref (2869 as per the caseback photo) and I get this result from the Omega website. Shouldn’t be hard to find one of these (or just keep the decagonal crown - they look really cool).

·I appreciate you taking a look at it. I’m glad to hear that the crown might be original to the watch. I definitely like the look of it and it gives it some nice character.
