The inscription on the case back looks like it was done by a drunken sailor............
The writing on the dial doesn't look right either to me.

I think the BA 145.022 is a redial, the text is off. Also has the wrong chrono seconds hand I think. Agree the caseback is pretty messed up looking too...

EDIT: Not a redial.

This is a really good BA 145.022 thats going to go for real good coin.Nothing wrong with the dial or hands.The dial is an early version as reflected in it's serial number with the oval 'O' as stated in MWO .

I wasn't too sure if it was just really low resolution photos?

I find this remark offensive to drunken sailors!

It looks like they have added Hi-Resolution photos and it does look pretty mint.

Yeah, I was wrong about that one. Don't know as much about these without MWO handy as I thought.

What about the caseback though, still looks slightly wonky even in the hi-res photos?

Perhaps poor camera quality used photographing the on auction watch

The Auction watch. Poor photo.

Thought he got a different one, since he doesn't have the box?

Well. The engrave is fishy or just a bad day in the life of Omega craftsman.

Don't underestimate the ability of a crappy camera and lens to distort, especially a poor quality wide angle lens.
