Thanks for the welcome ! Feel free to comment my watch ! At first sight, would you think the dial/case look original ? I am not an expert yet 😀

Welcome to the forum. It would be helpful if you could post a clear straight-on photo, but my first impression is that the dial has been repainted. However, it's certainly better than many that we come across. The crown also appears to be a replacement. Both of these issues are quite common.

La bienvenue depuis le plat pays!

Belle Seamaster. J'aime beaucoup ces mouvements là (26x). Ce sont ceux des mes Omega Genève "cursive". Un plaisir à les remonter le matin 😀

Yes, it is clear that the dial has been repainted. The distance between the marks does not match.
