Hello friends, today I came by this one in very rough condition, but I'm not sure about the originality of the dial. I'm seeking for your advice. Thank you!

Thank you Matt, the description says the watch doesn't wind correctly, the crown cannot be turned. Only got these 3 photos. Asking $400.

Yes, legit and rare (even rarer without lume). Always like sharing mine

I’d buy it if I had the offer - but then, I’m not the most objective when it comes to 2577s. 😁

Worst comes to worst, a spare cal 354 can be found for 200-300$, plus a service.

I was going to write the same thing. I'd buy it for $400 even at the risk that the entire movement needs replacing. The dial condition isn't great, but perhaps it can be gently cleaned.

The dial would give me pause, but at $400 for one of these, it's hard to go wrong.

I think I'll take the bet. Just want to see to what extend can the dial be cleaned. Thank everyone for your input.

Just an update, I bought this watch last week for $360(according to current forex rate). I asked the seller to send it directly to my trusted watchmaker in China, who is also an Omega collector. I will update once it is back from servicing.

My watchmaker updated me today. The result actually is over my expectation.
