    Hello,

    I've found a few interesting pieces of advices to figure if a watch could or not be authentic on your forum, and i read the 90+ pages of the main topic on vintages watchs without really found a similar issue ...

    It's an 267 caliber, watch is date at 1958 with the serial number, and seems legit with the 267 caliber (early 1956)

    This one match my definition of an authentic regarding the caliber reference, the year and the serial number. But the more I look the dial, the more I think something is wrong with this one :
    - It seems like the omega logo and brand are not centered on the 6-12 axis
    - The font of the omega seems really odd ...
    - The shape of the omega is kind of unusual too

    What to think about this one ? Thank you very much for taking your time ...

    Best regards,

    It’s legit but has had a replacement or more likely repainted dial. The font is post 1980
