    As usual, poor pics. The watch seems old (from the fifties) but the dial looks more modern, like from the sixties. The omega database lists the 2787 case as a ladies watch, and the dial is similar. What do the experts think?.

    Nothing screaming redial to me. Maybe a factory replacement dial?

    Looks like a 2767 to me. Supposed to be gold cap , but that doesn't mean it wasn't stainless too. It is not a 2787, that is plain. If the back reads 2757 then something is wrong. We need to see more details of the sale.

    It seems clear the dial is not the right one, even if it is an omega original dial. I'll ask the seller about the case number. The only additional detail is a pic of the movement:

    Wouldn't be so quick to condemn the dial. Omega usually had several styles for each case reference. Sometimes, even the fonts were different.

    My suggestion would be to Google up others with the same reference number. If you can't find anything close, then it may be a franken-dial.

    Really tough to say on these mid to late 1950's Omegas,
