Dear OF

i bought this omega 2576-16, but not sure if its everything proper. For sure crown is wrong but what do you think about the rest of the watch visible on the pictures and the hands (coluor and size/lenght of lume) and dial...?
thanks in advance for your help!

It may be fine, but the low-res photos aren't good enough to really evaluate the dial IMO.

i know, therefore i would like to ask about your feelings...

here the lume is different, longer in the hands:

I'll play desite the less-than-ideal pics: given the crown's been replaced, you know the watch has been opened/serviced. When I'm considering a watch, this always factors into things.

The hands--again, just from these pics--seem to have lighter lume than the plots. I've only handled maybe half dozen 2576s, but the ones I've seen usually have matching lume. So that'd give me pause--though, to be clear, I'm not an expert.

The dial seems basically fine; the Swiss might be hidden by the tension ring, or by the angle of the photos.

The case looks fine; nothing that'd overly concern me.

I think at 700 euro it seems basically a safe bet.

The hands may be replacements, or relumed but they are the correct style. The dial and case look fine to me.

A bumper with a "fat" bottomed S?

Or is that a fault of the pictures? Hard to tell...

Looks ok to me. Hands may be relumed, hard to tell.

@Shabbaz posted a photo of his in this thread. It has the same style S.

I lean towards it being correct due to the fatter 15-30-45-60 hashmarks in the subdial, but for €700 I'd want more. That is a lot of money, IMO.

I had the same instinctive response, but I've seen several original 2576s with that S as well; I think it's fine, fwiw.
