Is this a redial? Is it even authentic? Please help a beginner.

S Sherman

Hello all, I have begun to dip my toe into vintage watches and was wondering if you could help me with this watch. I have reserved it on Chrono24 because I personally believe it is absolutely gorgeous, but I think it may be a redial. It has no model name on the dial, and while the movement looks great, I don't know what to think. Here is the Chrono24 link:

https://www.chrono24.com/omega/vintage-dress-watch-14k-gold--id10612578.htm.

The seller doesn't provide any info on the model, and I can't find any information with the provided reference number. However, the seller seems very reputable.

So, is it a redial? Is it even a real Omega?


Thanks in advance.

Please post photos, not just the link, if you would like assistance.

Seems strange to me that there is no "SWISS" or "SWISS MADE" at the bottom of the dial, but there are other people around here who actually know what they're talking about. The unsigned crown is also unexpected.

The crown is definately not original. But, in fact, if you look closer and zoom in you can see the swiss made inscription on the dial (it's just simply covered by the beveled crystal). To me it looks like an original dial. Case also appears to be original.
I think is a nice example, but not for that price.

Best,
Javi.

For all the posts tend to comment on asking for photos, you rarely actually offer assistance once OP does post photos. 😗

Apparently you have nothing better to do than comment on my posts.

Certainly genuine. Dial looks OK, I think there may be a SWISS marking hidden beneath the edge of the crystal.

The crown is also correct for this reference and plenty of others from this period.

Considering the inscription, I'd say the price was on the high side by at least $300.
