    Hello dear Omega fan,

    I just saw this watch online, which apparently dates from the 1950s. I was wondering whether the dial has been repainted, because it seems to clean to my unexperienced eyes. What do you think?

    Other than that, do you detect any serious defect in this watch? They ask about 700 euro.

    Thanks in advance for your reaction. 21F528F1-70D4-4A5E-92CE-EFC875BD9B86.jpeg 1412B569-29E6-4F45-9F54-5F996EAF2657.jpeg 217E67C6-4538-49C4-B9FE-09EFBC419541.jpeg ECEAD9CC-9166-4E47-B75C-9CEEC6D121DE.jpeg 831F34BE-6DF1-4230-B097-7377BE459FFA.jpeg

    Repainted and worth less than a third of the asking price.

    Yes, redialed. It's obvious enough in this case that we don't even need the more desirable straight-on angle.

    Total mess, the ref 2982 is actually for a Geneve Calendar.

    Shouldn’t the SC on the case back indicate centre second hand?
