    Apologies in advance! Still on the hunt for that jumbo sized cal. 26x watch! This one comes from the bay, a las vegas dealer i think:

    What do you guys think, i don't think this one is a redial? The hands match the numbers and are dauphine which i believe is correct. The text on the textured dial looks sharp to me as well. I think this one may be original guys! Appreciate any opinions on why i'm still really bad at this :).

    Looks good to me! Condition seems actually very good.

    This ref came with different dials and hands. Yours seem good to me - even if the Omega database shows another set for this ref.

    By the way, it is a "Trésor".

    Thank you for your opinion on this one. The omega printing is slightly less sharp than I'd expect, but this might be because of the textured dial?

    My similar age watch that I covered here, has a similar dial. Here is a detail of the Omega writing. Yours looks good to me but it is difficult to tell. Looking at the "Swiss made" and the minute ticks, I find it hard to believe this is anything other than original.

    That's a very useful photo! Thank you for posting.

    I think the dial is original. The case and movement also appear period correct.

    I think I will make an offer and see where it goes!

    I really like the dial and the case looks pretty sharp. If i made a mistake, it's ok let me know and I'll learn from it :).

    Well I received it. Haven't had a chance to take great photos yet (will do and post in a new thread). For now, looking at this crop from my phone camera... What do you guys think?
