Hi all,

Found a nice Omega from a retired watchmaker, but upon further inspection, I find it hard to find an identical example.

I think the hands are wrong (as they don’t reach the minute track) but also can’t find the same dial.

Does anyone have further information if the dial could be correct or if it belongs in another watch? Thanks.

Regards Robert

I found this that has a slight dial variation. I think the hands are correct but I'll wait for the experts.

Do the hands have lume? I can't tell. If not, then they are definitely wrong.

Indeed they do not have lume!

A dial with lume would always have been matched with luminous hands. And that dial clearly has lume in the applied markers.

Thought as much, thanks for the knowledge 👍
