Hi, thank you for letting me join your forum.
This is my first post and so please excuse any errors.

I bought this watch a few years ago and have never been able to identify the model..The caseback serial number is worn but looks like 9824232. On the inside 277 and on one of the lugs. The movement is serial 9233376.

I have my doubts about the dial due to colour of the numerals.

Any help identifying the model, movement and authenticity would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like a cal 26.5 in an early waterproof case. Mid-to-late 1930s IMO.

Thanks for the info. Any thoughts on the dial?

I'm inclined to say that the dial has probably been repainted.

Dial looks very suspect to me. The subdial in particular where the hand doesn't reach either the middle has marks or the end of the subdial circle. The typeface inside the subdial and the outer minute track is also a bit more modern than I've seen.

Thanks. Good observations

Wrong logo, wrong typo, wrong design, definitely a redial. Original Omega case. Caliber is a 26.5 SOB s already identified by DanS, but with an incorrect regulator.

Thanks for confirming movement model number and about incorrect regulator I don't think I'll be replacing regulator due to the redial .
