I have no strong opinion, but would be surprised if Dino were to misrepresent a dial as original.

Here is a dial with the same sub-dial design. As is evident, the Omega signature and emblem look very different.

Yes, the signature does look suspicious. I agree.

The spacing of the letters in "Tachymetre" is quite wide, too. Overall, the character of the dial does not seem right, to me.

I have no relationship with Dino, but he has been selling exceptional (and expensive) watches for a number of years now, and they typically look correct. In no way am I excusing him if this is an exception, but I am certain that high-end dealers of his type are having a much more difficult time sourcing good, fresh stock these days, and may well be tempted to "push the envelope" as a result.

I appreciate the perspective, Tony. I am no expert on Omega but the appearance of this dial, coupled with the trend that you allude to, makes me curious.

I have a few 40’s Omega chronographs and none of them have OMEGA looking like that.

Two others, not mine
