    Hey there,
    I have the opportunity to buy this watch. As far as I know, the "non magnetic" should be legit per se.
    What is your opinion on this watch? Should I buy it? And how much should this be worth at the maximum?
    Thanks for your opinions, I really appreciate your inputs! And sorry for the bad quality of the pics, I don't have any better ones...

    Judged by the low-res pics of the small second circle, it looks like it isn't a redial. It looks as if the small second area has a concentric finish.

    PS: Looking at the pics one more time, it seems to me as if the logo and "Omega non magnetic" and all the writing in the small second area are slightly darker than the numbers and indices. May that point to an early relume job?
    In addition, the number 5 seems to be a little bit off...

    PPS: It is somehow weird that the 1 in "10" is different to all the other 1's on the dial...
    And the minute hand looks to be a bit too long.

    What is your opinion on the watch? Thanks for your inputs!

    I agree, the lume was redone at some point many years ago. Look at the hands. Omega wasn't perfect, but they were never that sloppy.

    Otherwise, I think the dial is original, as is the rest of the watch.
