I’m interested in this one but I have my doubts.

If I’m not wrong, it seems arranged that the “Swiss Made” at 6 o’clock appears to be buried by the case which seems to me it’s the wrong size. I typically see the applied “OMEGA” script rather than painted so that has me a bit concerned too.

I am also having a difficult time determining whether this is an over polished watch. Many of you are way better than me at determining a re-dial, and degree of polishing. There seems to be some spring bar showing between the lugs but maybe NOS strap has shrunk a bit. If it’s a good example I want to pull the trigger but if there is even a shadow of a doubt I would not do it.

The rotor has obscured the caliber marking but the seller has stated it is 354 so i am at least confident that it is a “chronometer” movement. Other than that does it look to be an honest example?

Looks correct to me for a 2652. The case has seen a polish for sure, but the lugs on the solid gold 2652's are much more rounded to begin with than steel 2652's.

The dial looks OK to me from the photos. The issue with “Swiss Made” could be due to a poor fitting crystal. The Ref 2652 is known with both applied and painted wording for “Omega”.

Hope this helps,
