    Even if it is a genuine Omega part, it's still a replacement. Original is only original if all the parts (except maybe normal wear items like gaskets) are intact.

    The replacement markers are going to be a different color than the original. The new ones look whitish

    Im sure the experts will confirm my suspicion that the materials have changed since the 60s, but a sure give away would be that the lume on a new bezel would be much whiter.
