    Its real, not sure about the hands (if they are original), but I am sure someone else here could tell you. The dial is not in great shape but if you like it, you like it....

    Definitely real,
    definitely feel hands are not original, wrong size and style,
    moisture problem on dial (2 o'clock) corresponds with tarnish area of movement reflecting a seal issue,
    some corrosion starting,
    long time since oiling, looks drier than a popcorn fart.
    parts watch worth $100+ Imho, unless you love it and are looking for a good-sized project.

    Hands are fine, no lume dauphin style for a no lume dial, minute hand comes out to the minute/second track as it should.

    A work in the yard beater or as Buck says parts, too many issues to be sorted at a reasonable cost.

    Thanks Norman,
    I felt hands color was wrong and too long going past markers, much to learn, my friend !

    Buy it for $200 and then put $200 in it and then you'll have a $250 watch.

    If you want a decent Omega, could you stretch to $4-500 ??

    Yeah, I was planning on spending about $400 USD but haven't found the right one yet.

    Thanks again!

    You can get a nice DeVille , manual wind or bumper for $400.

    Please send us pictures and ask questions before you buy.

    Good Luck, Brother !!
