Hello all I found this cal. 561 arrow head. Looks legit except that I can't hv a better look at the movement number, serial & case number. Any comments are welcomed. Thank you very much. Cheers, Liam
Looks great, lovely reference. Has the dial been refinished? The placement of SWISS MADE looks a bit odd.
It might just be the photo or my eyes, but the dial looks a little wonky to me. I have tried to position the photo with the case square, but the dial looks off-centre
Liam, Did you see this on the Japanese Yahoo Auc site? If I remember correctly, I think that the listing said that the dial was "re-done". (If it wasn't on that site my apologies, and please ignore this post!) Andrew
Right...it'seems on yahoo auction. Wah...sounds fishy, on auction every 2 weeks... Thanks the feedback rascjp & tamura.
I don't think the 168.005 (which I believe this to be) ever came with an arrow marker dial! Think this could be a fake dial.
They've been hovering above the forum... https://omegaforums.net/threads/196...onstellation-all-steel-caliber-561-date.9077/ The one the OP posted looks very wonky though.
The dial is certainly refinished - the SWISS MADE should be underneath the 6:00 marker and the words closer together. I don't like that case at all and also think it might be one of the fakes. For all we know with those pics, it might be a fake bracelet too. The movement might be cobbled together too based on the uneven coloring. What's the serial number?
I couln't get a better picture of the serial, but this is what written in the ad. "Reference Caliber: Ref.14902 62 Cal.561"
It's a fake dial - evidenced on the crappy date surround and poorly finished arrow heads. The usual suspects would have the Ts, but this one's improved a bit. It's also a fake case with wrong facet on the lug tops and wrong stars on case back.
