    I didn't want to pollute the forum with a new thread, but what is the consensus on this?

    The minute hand seems too long and the case back should have a gold medallion, right? It needs a bezel. If the only other issue is that the hands are wrong, I might scoop it up for the right price and fix it up.

    Lex I moved your post as the other thread is only for recommended watches, not opinions

    This example is not a pie-pan dial, which has the shorter hands. This one is a "dome" or more conventional dial. The hands are supposed to be a bit longer and go out to the edge of the dial, so they look correct to me.

    Also, the fact that the medallion on the back is not gold tells me that the orginal case is all stainless steel and if you buy it, you need to find a steel bezel for it. These are actually harder to come by than the gold ones.

    Good luck,

    Also the bracelet is NOT an Omega bracelet and the rotor bridge is incorrect since it is marked 17-jewels.
