Please share your thought? Is it original SM Chrono?

Hi guys
I hope to hear your thought on this Omega? Im on bidding of it but still concern about the dial
Should I buy this watch?
Thank you so much in advance

Genuine. Case seems quite soft though

An “unadjusted” chronometer? Shouldn’t a 751 chronometer have 24 jewels. Methinks something just isn't right .

I've seen this quite a lot. I think over the years watchmakers just used parts/bridges they had available and so it's not uncommon to see genuine movements, particularly 5xx series, with mismatched bridges, jewel counts etc.

You're right, it's certainly worth being aware of though.

You are spot on! this would give me a pass... these watches are not rare, so better wait for an all correct one.

Suspicious for sure. The dial and movement may not have gone into service at the same time and same place.

The brushed finish has been completely polished away, it looks terrible.

Ironically, that is the OK part. Pass otherwise.
