The "OMEGA" should not be centred with the "E". Due to kerning, the word should appear with the vertical bar of the "E" slightly to the right of the left leg of the Ω symbol.

Although not a foolproof method, using boxes and lines can give an indication of originality if photographic distortion is taken into account (as evident in the photo below).

You could have showed one with a crosshair dial for more or less the same effect 😁

I am not expressing an opinion on the subject watch, but would like to remind everyone that dial manufacturing was outsourced, and not always to the same companies. One should never expect high production models to necessarily have identical dials.

Again, I have no opinion on the OP's watch, but subtle differences between dials are not always indications of a lack of originality in one or the other.

Great point

It arrived today. Package was crushed to oblivion by arrival 👎😲. Luckily the seller packaged it well and the watch itself is rugged. Once I managed to open the crushed package:

The watch was packed onto a a pillow that was inside a cardboardbox that was wrapped in bubblewrap that was warpped in packing paper. Once I removed the box it literally fell apart. 😵‍💫

Luckily the watch is sturdy 😁

Here it is.

All in all I am pleased. In the end 650€ , service by a watchmaker included and shipping included. Luckily no harm came to it, but just goes to show how important it is to pack watches properly and to even overprotect them.

I forgot to mention that at some point the 3 marker lume has fallen off. As it is not inside the plexi I assume it was during a final checkup of the watch. I am considering contacting the seller and see if there is a chance for a small reduction in price.

Plus in retrospect a huge mistake that I didn't video tape the unboxing. 🙁 If the watch had been damaged/destroyed I would have had a difficult time with the insurance company. Next time I'll record the unboxing if theres any hint of a damaged/crushed delivery box👍
