    Hi all,
    Can I ask you what you think of this dial:
    Original Dial Omega Bumper, Automatic (Ref. 849)
    The seller claims original, but I don't like the look of the "M"s and "A"s - they seem wonky.

    That being said, there is patina between 3 & 6 o'clock.

    I don't think that's original either. The font is off and the minute/second track is over inked.

    Redial - avoid.

    Yes, they can be clever as well as lie.
