The best thing you can do is to read Desmond's article: https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:4AKMcetEasEJ:205.196.120.221/562vjwo5jx6g/knazxmyqdzd/Omega+Geneve+Dynamic+I+.pdf desmond guilfoyle omega&hl=en&gl=uk&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEESjJAE5BAvjrap-TfrxEarnxPmJeaEKDn44LLgH-rnd1Jp8M01Af0IMCC4ffrtCyBNhmFHrJd-qEqdbe0F4uSHE3XJEfe89uqKg01XQX3PFicLudhAPbkAlBfaBxvsgSAhm2UMv3&sig=AHIEtbQS2CjSemhzUG1v1QmsOXuh3h9YBQ

There are a lot of subtle pointers. The immediately obvious one on the one I posted is that the lettering is too thick - then you start to look at the details of the lettering.

Thanks, I've already read that one a couple of times but to me it seems like all these details are hard to read without comparing.
I recently received the watch to look at it more closely.
Here are some pictures (best I could get with 35mm dslr.

As I'm only on my iPod I can't see those pics well enough to give detailed comment while I'm away.

But I've been thinking about writing a short piece for the forum on Dynamics together with a little checklist. If people think it'll be useful I will try to do it in the next couple of weeks.

Thats alright!
My knowledge is limited but from the document you linked I compared to the one I recieved.

It has got the Omega sign on the crown
Got one on the crystal as well.
Bracelet says 1153/138 which as far as I know is the original, also the same text as original.
The dial looks like original, the signs and text as well.
The luminous hands glows but only to be visible when pitch black (it's not paint and it's far from bright, just a tiny glow). So they are probablt not changed either.

Looks good to me, the only thing I'm noticed is that the braclet isn't very "solid", but from what I was told at the local watchmaker it wasn't very solid to begin with since there wasn't too many braclets at the time it was made. Seen that on several forums as well. But who knows, he wasn't an Omega specialist 😉. A quick question, how do I set the "second"-hand? The hour and minutes are smooth but the second-hnd just stops, isn't it pulled all the way out?

That would be great! Will save people alot of time finding an authentic/non redial Dynamic 😀

Sounds like you're doing fine with your own research there. The bracelets are pretty secure, although flimsy by modern standards.

I will compile a piece on Dynamics during April & post it in the vintage forum.

Yeah, it feels a bit like a sport. To be a detective 😀

Send me a pm/profile message when you have set it up! In case I forget to log into the forum for a while.

So the text "Swizz Made" is very obvious on this one does it mean it repainted or is it a different one.

If you ask me, it's not a redial. In most cases it seems like the dials
are" faded" by the sun. Or the crystal being very scratched. If it has been locked up in a box ever since it was bought back in the days it will probably look almost intact.

Easiest way I found out to see if it is a redial is if the text is written in bold, it seems like the Omega signs "endings" is pointed up amd a bit too long.

Look at SpikiSpikester's post of a redial from ebay on the previous page. And compare to the one you linked.
