Yes, should be more like this: https://omegaforums.net/threads/2-w...m-manual-wind-chronometres.41637/#post-487674

I'd be much happier seeing a minutes track on the outside of the hour markers rather than the "SWISS MADE" at the bottom... Redial.

This kills it. Now that you pointed it out, I have to agree that minute marks are missing. Sometimes you look so hard to validate what's there that you completely overlook the things that are missing.

I have to say, the finishing of the case looks too shiny, so that is something that supports the redial.

@ConElPueblo

nailed it - but what we see has been nicely done...

yes, sometimes we overlook the obvious (missing minute marks) when dissecting the minutiae

what made me suspicious first was the "swiss made" - it is not matching the age of the watch (movement)

This is mine. Bought at Matthew Bain in Miami. Seems similar to option #1. Hands have been relumed and the whole thing recased. Dial is either original (I have a signed letter from them stating it is original) or well refinished.

Thank you for posting it. Below is a better picture of watch number one and I immediately see some differences to yours in the markers of the subdial, but the Omega script seems identical at first glance. Will have a closer look this evening.

I retract my statement regarding the Omega script until further notice... 😀
