Not sure if this one is a legit O mega dial. I was offered this today . Any advise?

 

Serial number 60001190 is for a ref. 23988000, which is a two tone Seamaster Chronograph, with a Cal. 1164 and blue dial with gold lettering.

Is it possible that your dial has faded to be almost all gold? Well I've seen such things in other brands (Oris for example), but not on Omegas typically, although I would say it's possible. The hands should be tipped with red, but it's quite common that those fade. So either a faded dial or someone has put the wrong dial on. Depending on the price it might be a good buy, but it depends on how stuck you are on things looking original or new.

I don't see issues with anything other than the dial to be honest, so really up to you.

 

Yes I saw those marks also and wondered hat they might be - very difficult to tell without seeing the watch in person. Bottom line is it appears to be a genuine watch that has a bad dial for whatever reason. New dial and hands can be bought, so as long as the movement is good, and again depending on the price....

Cheers, Al

 

Thanks. I passed on that one, a bad dial color and faded. Not quite sure why they did that but to each his own.
