I have the chance to buy this Omega 2505-11, 38mm with an unusual dial.
It's not a safe queen but it's charmy.
I tried it but I have no other photos.
What's your thoughts?

Real nice watch! Beautiful dial with heavy patina and as far as I can see water damage between 10 and 11.
To me the Roman numerals look repainted as it looks as if they are placed at uneven heights. Not sure though as it can be distortion by thecrystal.

The dial looks a bit smaller than it should and doesn't fit into the case properly.
The crown is not correct, either.
This is my 2505 dial and case gap.

I found a watch with the same dial, but different case and reference (Omega 2272-4).

I start thinking it's a nice franken.
Or Omega used to share same dials on different watches?
