Opinion needed - 1940s Omega Ref.2505 Jumbo, honeycomb dial,

Looking at this locally for about USD 1,250. Seller states original unpolished case, serviced, honeycomb dial.

My concerns:

1. The crown looks like a replacement - thicker than period-correct, no Ω marking. Am I reading this right?

2. Is the honeycomb dial original? Any signs of restoration I’m missing?

3. Does the case look unpolished as claimed? Lug bevels look sharp to me but I’d like a second opinion.

4. Is the asking price reasonable for this condition?

Photos attached. Caseback interior and movement shots to follow once seller provides them.

Thanks in advance.

Dial not original, not a 2505. 2605 possibly. But if the case-back says 2505, it's been swapped, IMO.

Thank you very much for your opinion.

Based on those relatively poor-quality pictures, I believe the dial has been redialed.

When you can take the time to crop your images I'll take the time to answer.
