    Hi guys, would hugely appreciative of thoughts on this one...

    Dial looks original to me, although a few parts of the printing may suggest it has been touched up?

    Do you recognise the movement?

    Yep, precursor to the 321. Lemania CH27 C12 AKA Omega 27CHRO C12 T2 co-developed with Omega in the mid 1940s

    Awesome, thanks . Does the dial look original or touched up, anyone got a view?

    Haha fair enough - this is all I managed to snap, was “on the go”...

    I’m looking at the feathered arrow and recalling that this is very difficult to get right on a touch up. Looks ok to me.

    I found a better quality picture, on the Somlo website!

    After a long look with my still rookie eye, the only bits that looks possibly touched up or inconsistent, to me, are;

    - the twos. I’ve shown them circled in green in the second pic

    - the Omega logo, especially the bottom which seems longer on the left hand side than the right, circled red in second pic

    Much less confident now. Case is also polished.

    I suspect that it is largely a redial.
