Is this De Ville Dial Linen or just super worn out??

Slowly going crazy over this watch but am still new to the game. Looking at buying this Omega De Ville 1972 (162 046 I believe, with papers) and originally thought the dial was a "linen" texture, but can't find exact comps and am starting to reconsider. Also trying to figure out what's causing the second hand and Omega logo to look different from the minute and hour hands. Could use some insight on this. Thanks! 32b2aa6d-be43-4103-8943-bdb5f0dd8d80

Linen dial. Hour and minute hands appear to be white and perhaps the hour markers have white accents, the second hand and Omega logo are silver (stainless steel for the second hand).

Really need much better photos to properly evaluate beyond these observations.

Appreciate the response, looking to meetup with the seller this weekend. I believe it is an older lady who hasn't gotten much wear out of the watch but has held onto the papers since 1972. Anything to be mindful up when purchasing/observing? (roughly 500 usd)

Also any comparisons of this on current markets? I couldn't for the life of me find anything. (Just trying to figure out how you knew which materials the parts were made of)

Thanks

Because I've been buying, selling and trading vintage watches for over twenty years, including hundreds of Omegas.
