    Hello everyone,

    Just bought this watch and I should’ve posted in here prior but I know it’s too late. But figured someone could shed some light on this piece. This is what I know - piece from 1956ish cal. 490 with Sub seconds. Not sure if font of “omega automatic” is off and on the bottom “Swiss made” instead of the regular “Swiss”. Crown checks out, movement checks out, case checks out. No lume on dial either?

    Thanks in advance !

    Yeah I was concerned with that for sure.

    Bad redial. Sometimes a bad redial can be replaced with a good redial.

    Not really sure what your question actually is! There's not a lot of ambiguity about the fonts, and I'm sure you see this, sorry. What's inside the caseback?

    Wow, obvious and poorly-done redial. Next time check with us first. Condolences.

    Real but a poorly executed redial.
    Value is minor due to this.

    case looks ok and decently sharp. Movement looks like it has pretty bad rotor wobble and needs a service.
