Hi guys, I'm watching this Weems Second Setting watch and the price seems a bit on the low side. Overall it looks fairly decent. I don't see a lock for the bezel but I also know there are several variations of these watches. I am still fairly new to study of these watches so is there something off about this watch I'm missing?

My biggest concern would be the dial. Are there photos where the writing isn't obscured?

Dan, looking at the photos they all seem to have been taken within a minute of each other so, sadly no there's not an unobstructed view of the writing. What gives you pause?

seems a little sketchy that the photos are intentionally that bad considering the age of cameras on phones even. idk

The dial does not look correct. Here is an original one for reference: https://omegaforums.net/threads/wha...n-your-wrist-today.11824/page-43#post-1933610

Another example. I do not think that this is the only correct radium dial variant but it is tough to find good photos of original examples.

The 7 and the 10 are larger than the other numbers within their sequence.
