Hey guys. I’ve just purchased my first Omega and I was wondering if I could get some insight on it.

Firstly I’ll say. This watch was purchased on eBay without box or papers.

Secondly. I believe the case # and serial # are real, but possibly different years from what I can tell. The strap not original which is fine, however my concern is the dial.

My best guess is after market or repaint, but I’d like to get your feedback and thoughts on the whole piece.

More info from seller:

The seller even said that the dial was refinished, so why would you have any doubt?

Apologies. Reading back I was not entirely clear in my concern. Which leans more toward seeing if the style and color would be correct for this period/ model.

It's not an accurate redial.
