Good morning everyone,

I'm taking a look at this vintage Omega from the 1940s and would love to get your opinions and a potential estimate on its condition and value.

Thanks in advance to everyone!

The only thing I can say is that the dial looks original while the hands have likely been replaced. Makes no sense to have a radium dial without radium on the hands.

The picture of the movement and caseback seem to have been taken from another planet.

That makes a lot of sense, but what do the rest of you think about whether the dial is actually radium? From the photos, it really doesn't look like it to me

Not all radium dials are heavy coated. Magnified. You can see some areas where it has chipped away.

Might have hands like this

I don’t know. The second-hand markers certainly look like they’re on the dial to me, but the hour markers don’t.

Sorry, what are you referring to? The indexes?
The numbers could be applied foil. They aged which is why they’re dark
