    Could be legit... what disturbs me a bit is the fact of Ref 987 iteration "1" combined with this high movement#

    Secondly: the dial looks original except the Omega logo and wording - these most likely have been reprinted.

    Why?
    1) color is much deeper
    2) Omega logo too big and positioned too high
    3) Omega word has a "shadow" at it´s end - most likely the original word was faded and has been re-printed but position is slightly off

    just my 2 cent

    Just yesterday i mentioned about a nickel finish 320 caliber...

    [​IMG]
    The movement is in the 10 mill range.

    Last evening a pretty rare Omega ref. 2277-2 Cal. 27 Chro C12 T2 PC sold on ebay.

    [​IMG]
    The movement is also in the 10 mill range.

    Finally, the OP 33.3
    [​IMG]
    The movement is in the 11 mill range.

    Interesting fact is that all these movements are in nickel finish and sold probably in the same period, ca. 1946-1947.

    The fact that the OP´s movement is nickel finish does not say anything about it´s authenticity as most of the 33.3 are nickel finished (except the very first ones which where yellow gold finished) in contrary to 27 Chro (aka 320 and 321) where the early ones where silver or nickel plated and the younger ones copper colored...

    Indeed, but the interesting fact is the close serial range for all 3. Again, Omega was offering all these movements in the same time.

    I think Erich's assessment is spot on especially the comment about the partial dial reprint.
