I am looking for an Omega chrono with caliber 320 and I found this ad on ebay:
https://www.ebay.it/itm/285067379311?hash=item425f57026f:g:Yu4AAOSwbsBjkK~a&amdata=enc:AQAHAAAAoJwbafkf0U/6qNslxl6z01zklgdpB5gEnmauWGLWCOslKhFJjdRfzyV5uoeOQu2vo7Pq6IFN5/RdM+B3X+LS5gztc9ZJpIihRIGYWWqKGDcIv/xYZbtvXdqWuT0lKftTjAYzxzxdGhlkychcSu4ggIIufY8yGQ+tPOuByBgEpkARpupLAPmLg5+RkBxYLhjBbAnQAmNt2YeXipSzzyjYx9w=|tkp:Bk9SR_zYn6ujYQ

But the dial seems too clean and there are some details that don't convince me, especially the Tachimètre lettering seems too thick and the color of the hands in the subdials seems yellow compared to the rest. I should add that I know that the seller has a company that makes redials.
What are your thoughts on this?

This is another Chrono i found in a local shop, is gold filled and they ask 2500 Euro, the light make it more yellow than reality:

a couple of things bother me about the dial.

The minute ring looks too heavy.
The Tachymetre font might not be correct.
The tacky scale is quite heavy
The 6s where there are 3 figures (600, 160 etc) are usually 'squashed' not rounded.

the 4s are usually very square with a flat top - especially on the left subdial

However, there may be some change in styles depending on the year.

Here is my 2872 for comparison -but note, you can tell it is a different year by the width of the margins around the subdials
(the discrepancies around the tacky ring are crystal distortions)

Thank you Peemacgee, you have a really nice 2872, very clean dial. Yeah the year is different probably but i've never seen a "tachimetre" writing so bold and a so eavy tachy scale. what do you think of the pricing of the second example i posted?

The photos for the second one really aren’t good enough to assess the watch properly and there is perhaps crystal distortion.

However, I think there are issues with the printing in the left hand sub dial and there doesn’t appear to be an accent over Tachymetre.

Not a reference I'm familar with but the subdial printing on the first watch alone is so inacuarte, look at the minute/ 5minute markers and the different distances to the edge of the subdials
