    Saw this on Ebay and it looks like a real Transitional. Has a 27m serial. Just a liitle skeptical because the seller has 2 other Transitionals for sale that are clearly not Transitional. Both are -69 and have painted Omega dials. Although they are nice -69s just not Transitional.

    Applied logo dial, check.
    26 or 27m serial, check.
    145.022-68 stamped caseback, check.
    DON bezel, check.

    Looks real to me. It is a little tired though. I'd suggest one of the two that are up on ebay right now over this one.

    I agree; this watch checks all the boxes, but that's about it. Lume is terrible, and the bezel isn't great either.

    I should add, EWC is a fairly reputable dealer.

    Certainly not a stretch to refer to a 145.022-69 as a transitional.
    3 different casebacks
    3 different bezels

    -69s could be described as transitional, but they're not Transitionals.

    Exactly. The one -69 is nice but at 10k might as well get a 321.
