I'm no expert either, but the AML does look a little crooked in that photo

It is crooked. But what looks fishy about the dial? The straightness of a glue-on logo is a good flag to look closer at the dial, so are there tings that jump out at you with the finish, fonts, marks, lume, etc.?

Just FYI - the applied Omega logo isn't "glue on" but is applied as most good quality markers are - with small feet.

Here is the reverse of a 1968 Cal. 861 dial, and you can see the recess in the back of the dial and where the feet of the applied logo have been ground off to secure it to the dial:

That crooked logo is quite common, while the "MEISTER" dial is something rare to find as a spare part.

Very informative as always Al, thanks for the insight.

Would you think it’s been replaced or knocked? They must be extremely delicate.
