·The dial might have been painted by Salvador Dalí.

·The “G” in Omega is also on a slippery slope.
To be fair I am a bit torn - it’s obviously terrible looking but it’s kind of cool at the same time 🤣
If only this was just the script though… the indices are also trying to escape…

·Its not due to digital artifacts or "AI". It is consistent with different angles.
It would also guess using solvent on the dial.

·Thought about that too, but if that were the case, wouldn’t the numbers on the bezel float as well?

But only effects the floating E in Omega which is weird, and angles could also be in play

·I was thinking AI at first but it is consistent across the photos. Solevent is the only thing that I can think of, but I have never seen it lift the paint, but not also cause it to disolve, blur, or distort. Could the owner be telling the truth and this is just really strange heat damage. I am not interested in buying the watch, just curious.

·This has got to be AI. How could a solvent perfectly pick up letters and hash marks and move them without washing them away? Look at the “F and E” in Professional, they don’t even touch…perfectly placed. And the heat theory just cooks things, it doesn’t move things. Just my 2 cents.🤟

·Very interesting…. So maybe the dial paint underneath got so hot as to actually slowly melt and move the printing without any letters touching.
And if it was that hot how did the “G” in Omega move but the letters surrounding did not? I guess more questions than answers with this one. 😎
