    It's real. Ok dial and hands. Case brushing looks correct from the pictures which is a plus.

    Not sure if the Chrono second is correct length.

    maybe it's the color balance of the photos, but the chrono sweep is supposed to be orange, as are the 30 min and 12 hr sub-dial hands: and the chrono sweep does look a bit short. can't quite tell but the case looks a bit over-polished.

    Under more review, I believe all the hands are wrong, and looking at it on my computer I can see the lume has also been removed from the dial.

    The minute hand should extend to the red line on the outer track, as well as the chrono second hand. The hour hand also seems short. The chrono subdial hands should also be orange.

    Although the case does seem to display the correct radial brushing, as for it being over polished you need a shot of the lug thickness on these to tell, and that picture is missing.

    I will admit many of these out there have the wrong hands... It comes down to the asking price if you are willing to have a dial with the lume removed, and the wrong hands. I'm not even sure how to source these hands at this point. The ones on it are close and are from another model, and I would guess are service hands and might even be from Omega.

    I would pass... too many things need to be corrected for me. Plus the bezel printing is not as nice as I would like to see.

    Crystal has serif numbers, which isn't correct I think. case looks like it hasn’t lost much metal but I would leave it for above mentioned points.

    I will let it go. The saler told me that was all original. He was lying about it. Makes me wonder what else he is hiding? Best not to even try to figure out... thanks anyway!

    The hands are wrong however they are omega. I had the same replacement hands on mine. They belong to a 70s model speedmaster. I had them replaced with correct old stock hands which are longer. I can't quite remember but I think one of the Jedi. I'll have to look at my old post.
