Hi everyone

First time post, I’m not an expert and would like some opinions on a 1970’s quartz I bought recently.
I purchased it because of the colour of the face, just not sure how genuine some parts are including the face.

thanks in advance

I did a quick Google search for the reference (191.0167) which is on the inside of the caseback. From your pics the case looks legit, also the 1365 movement, but I did not find a blue dial. Which does not mean it is a fantasy dial, but to me it looks like it did not belong to this watch when it left the factory.

Maybe you find one if you do a detailed search in Google,

kind regards, Max

Awful redial, even based on a poor photo.

Looks hand painted by someone of the Impressionist's School? Could be valuable if a genuine Monet.😀

In addition to being a fantasy dial it looks like the dial is crooked. Can you return it?

That was my fault, I took it all apart and didn’t straighten it. That photo is really bad, the reflection makes it look a lot worse than it is. The colour is consistent across the whole dial.

There is more to this than just the color, which for starters isn’t great. Look at the poor spacing between the minute marks.

Haha I guess you’re not a fan. I like the colour, I assume it was meant to be an attempt at the Omega Tiffany blue. I understand the dial isn’t a great standard but it’s a cheap watch. For what I paid the fact that it’s a genuine case and movement is good so I’m happy enough.

Perfect post! All that matters is what you think about the watch. Wear it in good health and enjoy it.

Oh, and welcome to the forum.

Certainly a redial. The original OMEGA sign and QUARTZ should be printed in gold color. Here is an example (minus the patina) of the original dial,
