Have asked to see inside case back. On Parker’s U.K. website
vintage Omega 9ct gold wristwatch can be dated to circa 1956 and is in overall excellent condition with expected age related wear.

Featuring a silver dial with gold batons and numbers, this classically simple timepiece has the case reference 13322. The 33mm case houses a calibre 266 hand wind mechanical movement which has been thoroughly checked by our experienced onsite watchmakers and is in full working order.

This watch comes with our Parkers 12 month warranty and a non branded presentation

Is the dial all good?
It's hard to tell anything without a straight-on picture of the dial. Does it matter to you if the dial has been redialed, or is it OK if the dial just looks nice?

If you are a collector and you wish to avoid redialled vintage watches, always be extra suspicious of clean, white dials with black print. What are your thoughts on the dial? Does anything look out of place to you?

Hard to tell as the photos look heavily edited and colorized, but the hash marks look good nonetheless.

Expensive for what you're getting, but I agree the dial is more likely legit than not.

Thanks Janice and Fred - uv exposure and actual damage must be the biggest issues so this will vary and dressy watches like this are probably not sport exposed.

There are clean watches out there that are very old. Not always the case.

Well the movement condition definitely matches the dial condition which is always a good sign.

Y but now I see the assay mark on the caseback looks to be post 1975

Reference 13322 is a known 1950s Dennison reference.

What letter are you seeing for the date code?

BTW, I think the dial looks fine.

Tks x350. That sets my mind at rest. On the assay mark The stamp after the anchor i thought would be the date letter and it is illegible to me. The outline of the stamp does not match expected but it seems this isn’t a given.

You have not indicated what Desmond told you. Does that support what others are thinking, or does it conflict?

Hallmark could easily be a badly pressed ‘F’, which would place it at ‘55/‘56
There have been other confusing examples where Dennison didn’t follow the accepted contemporaneous hallmark cartouche rules.
