Hi fellow watch lovers!

I've been offered to purchase this beautiful watch and, I'm VERY tempted in light of the latest Omega Baselworld 2018 release.

However, I think this might be a redial and my main concern is the Swiss Made text. Do you think it's just a refraction due to the curved crystal or just someone has really bad redialing skills.
I've asked for additional photos but for the time being I'll have to do with the ones below.

Thanks,
George

I agree with Maganator. The subdial markers are also crooked.

Now i'm only a noob but the numbers on the dial look a bit 'sloppy' how they are placed on the dial.

I think you will find someone is selling a bumper in the 'private sales' section on the forum.

Thank you for your feedback!
I kindly refused the watch but I guess the guy is in need of cash. He offered me another one but now I'm doubt of the authenticity. If the first one has dodgy "Swiss Made" this one has none at all (at least I can't see it).

Would you mind share your thoughts on this one?

Thanks again!

And the inside case back.

SWISS is very hard to see on some of the older watches. It is also good practice to be very suspicious of all black dial Omegas, until proven otherwise.

The black one is a pretty large case too. I would say 37mm or even more.

This is all I have. Ref. 2609
I could not buy the seller (even though he approached me) so I'll pass.

Thanks everyone for the help! Really appreciate it.
