Advice on Vintage (Tresor?)

AmateurMit · Feb 29, 2020

Hello all,

im new to the forum and to omegas generally. I’m interested in the following watch:

https://www.chrono24.com/omega/auto...tage-2709--gold-18k750-cal344--id12393827.htm

though I have the following concerns: (I) I cannot find a 2709 with a similar dial configuration online (ii) I’m worried the dial has been refinished (iii) the crown does not have an omega on it and seems not original

I’d love to hear your guys’ opinions and whether or not it’s reasonably priced.
Thanks!

(ii) I can tell for sure that the dial is refinished.

The weird overlap of the applied and printed hour markers raises concerns.

He is a high-volume seller and has good C24 feedback, but I don't think that means very much. So unless you have personal knowledge of his expertise, you should do your due diligence on every purchase. I glanced through his listings and immediately noticed about 10 dials that look very suspicious. A few of them were comically bad, and the listing noted that they were restored dials. But the others did not mention any restoration.
