    Well, given nobody else has bitten, here is my 2 cents, would be interested to see if others agree
    - RG is original dial? but I'm wondering why the piece that usually would point between the A and R is pointing in the opposite direction? (sorry, still need to learn what thingo A and thingo B are actually called)
    - watch 2 (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/180976722729Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network) ,I'm going to do the hoi thing, and ask if the hands are too long? almost certainly not original (they look blue in the pictures, and don't match the hand in the sub-dial). Is the crown right?
    - watch 3 (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/180977495698Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network) again hands look odd. I'm interested in the dial - would Omega make a dial which cut off the 6 like that? Looks odd. Why wouldn't you just leave the 6 off altogether, like in watch 2?

    Watch #1 - I think it's a older redial. Case and movement look nice. It's isn't a $3K watch. I'd recommend a pass unless the seller comes way down in price.

    Watch #2 - This one is probably the nicest of the lot. Good chance that the dial is original, and looks like it could be one of the "oversize" (37mm to 39mm) models Omega has back then. Hands look alright to me. Crown is probably a replacement, but maybe not. Price is too high at $800.

    Watch #3 - Dial is a very old redial IMO. Subdial is not well centered and logo doesn't seem right to me. Hands may or may not be original. Price is better at $400, but still too high.

    I think you'd be best served to pass on all of these,
