·Hi Grokas. I’m not a big deal around these parts so I’ll let the big boys chime in but my advice would be to stay away from this watch, especially at that price.
They have a look but are often poorly put together.
For that price you can easily find a cool Seamaster in original condition

·...and comes from india...
I hope not to offend anyone, but this would be enough to make me look elsewhere.
A Pakistani black dialed Omega though...

·thanks for all the input, the thing is i really love this dial ever since i had to let go my beloved 39mm railmaster (too big for my wrist), so is there a correct reference for this dial or are all out there mix and match?

··Oooo subtitles!Ignoring the dial which is most likely a Mumbai fabrication, the gold finish on the movement is odd for a 1950s Omega too.

It's actually a brass finish (well, not actually a "finish").
The beautiful Omega Cupro/Nickel (rose goldish) finish has been removed by harsh cleaning in who knows what solutions.

·to elaborate a bit on the question apart from the rancheros, railmasters and pafs is there another reference with this dial?
Fairly uncommon though.

·There are some real vintage gems out there that are of the same vein- you just need to hunt
Or just go for the gold

Also as much as I like the 300 my gold would be the 36mm railmaster.

·My first Omega was a fantasy-dialed Seamaster 30 very much like that one. I went in knowing it was a put-together fantasy watch, but I did enjoy it for several years until I bought my first modern Seamaster.
it was definitely worth the $100 I paid for it in 1999. It’s not worth $1000.
