To the OP - lovely watch you have there! You now have the pleasure of having an Omega that is military and has a black dial. Certainly desirable features.
I think that's heading towards "a lot" over.
It seems like a fairly good example, but it's not spectacular and you could probably get similar for a fair bit less. There's been some paint touched up on the dial too I think, certainly the 12 seems to have patches of newer paint on it.
If you do decide to find another then look over on MWR. You'll need to register to see the sales forum. Some very nice ones have sold there in the 1200-1400 range in the last six months.
Thanks guys!

Hi all
Let me introduce myself, I’m Dave, I’m from the UK and I’ve wanted a nice vintage omega for about 6 months now. I saved and did my research and decided on the omega Dirty Dozen from 1944. I Iiked the idea that it could have been worn during WW2. Any way I’ve jumped in and the below is my new (old) beauty.
I think I’ve probably paid a little over the odds but I don’t mind that as I’m not looking to make money out of the purchase I’m looking for enjoyment.
From my research, looking on this forum, along with other website I’m pretty sure that the watch is real, and that the dial, hands, font on the back and movement are all correct. However as I’m new and the watch can still be returned for a refund I thought I’d ask you all for your opinions.
On a side note I’m now saving for my next watch, the 1953 fat arrow!
In advance of all you reply’s, thanks for taking the time to give your opinions and advice.
