    The radial flip of the seconds numerals and the font thickness has me feeling that the dial has been redone.
    We need to see more to be sure of anything.

    I have similar questions but if it is a 20-30’s era... in an Omega case??
    Although37mm from that era seems large.

    You know, Foo, the logo doesn't look bad, this could be legit, an old redial or a complete Ukrainian abomination.
    37mm and that dial have me very skeptical, but I am wrong more than I am right, just ask my wife.

    Interesting. Logo and font look OK for the probable period. Case and crown are still very sharp for such an old watch unless it's been coddled all its life.

    Would like to see more pictures of the front/sides/crown/insides taken in good natural light.

    That's a much later crown, hope your camera has manual focus as the automatic isn't worth squat!

    We need a pic of the dial without the hands on the logo and a pic of the inside of the case back.
    But it could be ok! Actually the omega script and (what I can see of) the logo look good for the period. The rest of the dial could be ok as well.
    37,5 mm is rare for the period but watches of that size do exist. They usually command a premium when out for sale...

    I agree with François Pepin, looks like a very desirable large 26.5 from around 1937. need pictures to say more...
