·OP, I assume you already bought it, because I saw this one sold a few days ago...I would encourage you to post first to save yourself any trouble.
Obviously the hands are wrong, but you knew that. The dial looks right to me, but the color is off. It seems almost washed out for some reason. Might be due to moisture damage.

·The dial is a classic “stubby” a black date wheel? I reckon the whole things fake but who knows.

I'm not sure I follow. Where do you see the stubbies? I have two with black date wheels and one has an extract. I'm pretty sure they came with both.

hi Thank you for your opinions, I compared with a "good example", from seamaster300.com , only see the hands are wrong.

·Pictures are rather tricky to tell.
looks suspicious around the date window.
shouldn’t have a cyclops plexi.

gald you’re happy though.
Thank you for your opinions, my friend!
I am new to vintage watchs, did some research, but never enough.
According to seller, he had it for over 20 years, guaranteed everything is Omega, besides the hands.
Of course the date window on the glass is wrong.
I was curious about the dial color being so green, asked 2 watchmaker, both said it's right.

I think that is just a piece of dust. Its in a different spot in each photo, so I don't believe its a line.

If the crystal is signed at the center, the cyclops crystal isn't necessarily wrong. Many of the crystals in this era for watches with dates were available with and without a cyclops. I've had two without and one with a cyclops; All three of them were original Omega crystals.

Does the insert look good? the "10 20 30" marks are all in green?

·Italy ?
This one was in the US. I checked the serial number a while back and from what I recall it was way too late to be a correct early Italian model with arrow hands.
