Omega Seamaster Ladies: 1970s piece or a franken?

Hey everybody,

I encountered this tiny little watch below while hanging on social media for USD 105. I though it could be a good couple's watch when combined with my upcoming SS SMDV.

From the dial, it's a hand-winding Omega Seamaster (note the coat hanger S) and according to the serial number, it seems to have a mid-late 1970s movement cal 625.

When I searched for its caseback no on the web, I've found some watches which have similar looking dial but almost of them are from 1960s, often having cal 620 movements. To my eye, the coat hanger style writing doesn't match with 1970s but wanted to ask your opinion on this.




Below are some of the references I covered so far:

The 625 is a later update to the 620 and does not belong to this watch.

Well, that's what I suspected, as well. Thank you for confirming that!

No matter how good it looks to me, I can't feel comfortable with a redial, franken or, God forbid, a replica.

To be fair, both the movement and dial look legit, just one is about 20 years older than the other.

Exactly, all genuine but not original 😀 I think the watch is quite beautiful but I'm simply too obsessed with something being original. A full original Mustang or a Mustang with Ferrari engine? I'd always rather the former no matter what.
