@gbesq May I ask are these numbers(3, 9, 12) lumed?
They are not. On an authentic Ranchero, the hour markers and hands are lumed and the lume is radium based. A genuine Ranchero should light up a Geiger counter like a Christmas tree.

The photos seem a bit overengineered.
Agree on engineered pics, but more than 芦 a bit 禄 IMHO.
Could be hiding scratches on case and movement. Also certain movement plates are a different color and possibly swaped.

Problem for anyone looking at one of these at the moment is no EoA available (at least for the foreseeable future) from Omega, so needs to come with it or some risk has to be assumed.

Agree, and if i would still be looking for one right now, and the right one came up that ticked all other boxes, I would not hesitate
