These are the only pics I have of it. I am an admitted watch ignoramous, but upon comparing it to the omega WWW on hodinkee, I’ve noticed:

The way the subseconds cuts into the 5 and 7 is different and the numbers look slightly different. Does this mean this is a redial?

The second hand is clearly shorter.

The crown is different.

The bezel also looks to be different but I can’t say for sure. Could be the pics?

The broad arrow looks thinner.

The lugs look thicker.

I’m not sure what the inside is supposed to look like

Let’s say my above comments are all accurate, what value would you give to this watch?

Definite franken. Movement is non-rhodium plated, whereas military issue were.

Fake/frankened watch, sorry. Apart from the obviously wrong seconds hand, it looks to me like the other hands are slightly off in their proportions.

Is that a 19 mil serial number..? 🤦

Cal 262 as well, not the 30T2, and 17 jewels instead of 15. Lots going on with this one.

Never buy it, if those frankenwatch seller don’t find any customer, hopefully they run out of business

Though some might describe this as 'distressed,' this is what an unmessed-with one should look like:

Wishing you well with finding a nice one - it's a great watch for occasional wear, being so much more comfortable size-wise than my usual Speedy Pro.
