·It looks to be a legit US-made case. I would like to see better photos to evaluate the dial. And you will want to check for the US import code on the movement. In general it's best to include really good comprehensive photos when asking questions, since there are experts on the forum that can pick up things you might miss.

·Looks right. If it's a US Collection case, and it probably is, it uses 11/16" straps. You can get those NOS on eBay or a 17mm will (usually) fit.

··This Space for RentInteresting the Seller can take a great photo of the caseback, but what may well be a badly refinished dial is completely out of focus.

·And what looks like may be a very heavily polished case- I’m seeing melted butter

·I think most of that is just the lens effect... taken too close with a cellphone lens. It's the rarest 2627-style case that hasn't been blunted at least a little from a buffer.

·Interesting that it does not have "Seamaster" nor "Calendar" on the dial.

··This Space for RentThe text looks way better than in the blurred dial photo. Lots of variation between hour markers and minute marks, but hard to tell it that is partly due to distortion from the curve in the crystal.

·Checking mine (with Seamaster and Calendar text), my minutes/hours markers are closer to the edge of the dial than this one.
To my eyes, I have the impression that the Automatic (in my case, Calendar and Seamaster) seems slightly thinner font than the Omega. Here, they seem similar.
Lastly, the C of the Automatic, here, seems a bit "detached"
Now all this could well be to the quality of the posted pictures.

··ΩF InvestiGatorHere is early 1950’s ad:
No model name on dial. That’s they way they rolled back then.

·That is very, very pretty. Don’t see too many of those dials that are still that clean.
