Other than the condition, no alarm bells for me. Dial and case are what I would expect for a -64. Have those hands been painted? Maybe it’s the pics but they look thickly painted…

I really would recommend taking it outside when it is bright and sunny out, and then taking a couple pictures in the shade. There should be enough ambient light to really show the dial/bezel etc, but not have much shadow, and allow it to be in focus.

As above, I'm not seeing a redial there, but it isn't in great shape either. A service, some work to the hands maybe and a crystal polish and it will look a lot better. The dial plots will always be a bit muddy but it looks in decent shape otherwise

For me, the bezel is not omega
Hi William, interesting -- any particular signs that make you suspicious? Is it condition of the bezel vs. rest of the watch or more?

I am curious too.

At first glance the minute markers and smaller subdivisions seem OK, those would be the most difficult to replicate on a redial, but the sub dial and Omega Speedmaster fonts seem to have been retouched to say the least.



And the markers in the subdials are crooked and of varying thickness. Definitely not original

I don’t see the point of zooming in on a very poor quality picture. Still need much better pics.

Hi all
First and foremost thank you for your replys and advice given, the watch is now in the hands of Simon Fresse and I look forward to posting the results and images on its return once again thank you

I think it is an effect caused by the smartphone filter.

yeah more specifically the iPhone 13 has a weird quirk that causes this "watercolour effect" you can resolve it by turning off the HDR feature.
