    does this omega seamaster 300 look original?

    it has a cal. 552 with 182 serial

    the seller states that the hands were replaced against modern sm300 broad arrow hands and that the bezel is an Aldo replacement

    im concerned about the good condition of the caseback and the dial that is unusual for this reference and would like to ask you for advice. im sorry for the poor pictures, they are the only ones I received from the seller.

    hi

    the dial doesn't belong to 14577 it is more a 165014 dial or 165024
    the broad arrows belong to 2913 early stage
    18.2 is a litte early for a -61 imho
    the case seems to had also some polish

    I think the movement number is in the correct range

    All depends on the price. I wouldn't pay top dollar for it, but I'd buy it for the right price.

    Probably the dial isnt original. Can't say for sure because this was a transitional model (I think?) but most have the pointy indices. If you can find some candlestick hands I'd slap them on and call it a day.

    This was not a transition model. It is a improved 2913 dial was always same like 2913, this kinda dial came later

    In the end its a massive project
    One has to source correct hands, bezel, dial and the case is also not the best

    I agree. IMHO, all 14755-61 initially had the 2913 type dial with the triangular lume plots. Also had the spear type hands of the later 2913s. The only dial difference from the 2913s was the realignment of the Dial feet to fit the caliber 552 movement of the 14755. In fact, this 2913 type dial and hands was used up to the initial production of the 165014-62 as well. See below.
