# 1 real, honest watch, will need service despite what Hess says. They are OK to buy from but what you see is what you get. They usually show the movement in their ads, would call them and ask about it, they are easy to reach by phone.

# 2. fake watch. Don't buy a fake what and end up in a roadside ditch.

#3. Real, but very polished and the dial is bubbling,

 

#1 is only one I would consider. #2 is fake and #3 is overpolished. If you have the budget, wait for an even better example.

 

I don't see anything wrong with it Hoi. Don't just throw that out, what is it you find not correct or from another watch. If it is from another watch, what model, and why not this one? There is a big difference between genuine on another watch, and a redial. You can't say redial or real on wrong watch. And Hoi, I say all this because I have the utmost respect for your opinion.
This seller here has a reputation of just buying from original owners or estates.

 

Interesting...

 

I had no clue honestly... these guys have an eye for it, had to laugh re-reading #2's description then:

​

 

Yes it is as they often and usually do open them to ascertain the watches condition and as the claim to service them.

 

The date surround is not chamfered and not Omega. There are holes in the dial that don't line up with the Omega logo. The script is wrong. The finish is wrong, inconsistent. No Tritium except hands, not enough for 2 Ts

 

So you're suggesting that his dad did not in fact buy it in 1965 lol

 

You have that reversed. Assuming that A is 1, B is 2 and C is 3.
