    Hi, I have just brought a 9ct gold Omega Geneve. I am currently trying to work out if the dial is genuine. I have the manufacturer number :BL1325017 (this was with on the papers I brought the watch with). I have found a couple examples of pictures of this watch but none of good quality so I can tell the detail on the dial. So I have two question as to whether anyone has a picture of this watch or knows where I can possibly find one? and whether the two watches with the same manufacturer number can be different?

    Bellow is a photo of my watch and an example I have found online of it.

    Yes, the same reference number can have different style dials and in your case some of them said Geneve and some didn't, both ways could be correct.

    Your watch has a refinished dial, the Omega symbol and printing are incorrect and it lacks the second track and printed trim around the date aperture.

    Nice

    Bit of a stab in the dark, but did you buy this from an antiques centre in sawbridgeworth, Herts?

    No aahaha I brought it in Stratford upon Avon, I got it with the orignal papers which say it was sold in 1974 in Watford. Also thanks for the help with the dial im gonna start looking for a new dial then. Have you got any recommendations on where to look apart from ebay?
    I also need a new crown so is there anywhere I can look to see what size I need to buy?
