    Hi all,

    Take a look at this:http://m.ebay.com/itm/111555976310?nav=SEARCHPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    Is it genuine? I'm new at this, and I have no idea about the movement and such ... But the lettering below the logo on the dial looks slightly off center to me. Red flag?

    Thanks for any insights!

    It is a genuine over polished Omega with a refinished dial. :thumbsdown:

    As these guys said only value left in that watch is movement parts and even that looks to be in pretty rubbish condition

    Got it! Thanks very much! There seem to be a lot of similar types of "vintage" Omegas on eBay these days ... As always, you get what you pay for, especially if you're well informed.
