Redial? Omega 2769 Cal. 420

Hello expert members of OF - please help me evaluate this Ref. 2769 Cal. 420. Right off the bat, please note that the crown is not original to the watch and the movement has been recently serviced:




The case doesn't look overly polished to me and I think I can still make out the chamfers on the lugs (although a bit rounded at the bottom of the lugs, but this is the design of the watch?).

I'm more concerned about the the lettering in the "Omega" - the letter "E" in particular looks a bit goofy but the watch is old and other examples I've seen don't have the most pristine and sharp font to begin with. Another point of contention is the shade of the font in "Omega" vs. "Seamaster" where the later is noticeably darker and more defined than the former. One would expect both fonts to degrade at the same consistency, but I'm a newb in all of this and would love some feedback from the pros.

As usual, everyone's comments are very much appreciated!

Anybody? Or is this a silly question?

Thanks, Dan. They're the only pictures I was provided with by email, I was able to zoom in/out on the text but you're right it's a shame the pictures arent focused in closer to begin with.

Also kinda needs to be a straight on shot... the angles really hide much of the alignments that could be telling. Doesn’t look alarming to me at a glance. The case polishing would bum me out a bit though, personally.

I'd say that it is the original dial, but it has been washed at some point without re-lacquering. The dull, grey tone of the dial is fairly off-putting.

I think as ConElPueblo said the dial has been cleaned up.hence wh6 the logos lettering is variable in density. Not withstanding personal tastes it looks genuine to me . Great case shape

Thank you kindly everyone for your comments and ConElPueblo for pointing out the dial has no lacquer. I'm guessing a relacquering job wouldn't be too difficult but I'd rather just keep looking than go through the trouble. A sharper case is my preference as well.

Always learning something new around here!
