    Looks like a Mumbai Special to me. Do you have a link to the listing?

    The seller claims, watch is a NOS but why at the same time, he says 'the stainless steel case has been polished' and 'a new crystal has been fitted' and finally he said, 'a sign of a well looked after lightly used example. overall this watch is in excellent pristine condition'??

    Thank you.

    Seeing "NOS" in a listing is like seeing "original" dial. Take it with a HUGE grain of salt.

    Not NOS.

    Have a look at the crud around the hand bosses.
    The 'OMEGA' under Ω doesn't look correctly aligned.
    The word 'DYNAMIC' under 'Genève' is too narrow it should be wider than Genève.
    The Genève font doesn't look right, the ` above the e in Genève melts into the e, should be just above.
    It's missing the dash either side of 'Swiss Made'.

    Compare

    If all the newbies including me, do their homework, probably those who dump rubbish into the market will slowly die a natural death.

    Just spend your time asking around, you will end up a winner.

    You have set a good example for others to follow.

    Thank you.
