Hi guys,

Have you seen a reference 51201 before? I have searched for a few hours but couldn't find any information on it.

This is the watch. Also, do you think the dial have been repainted?

the reference seems to be corrected for a rose gold 14 carat since it starts with a 5.
Number 1 next is for time only.

After that i am not sure.

The dial looks embossed to me, which seems low-end for UG. Or else there is white paint slopped onto the markers.

Thanks Dan. I actually just learnt about this as you said from this thread:
https://omegaforums.net/threads/applied-or-embossed.75130/#:~:text=Embossed markers have not been,been fastened to the dial.

By reviewing a couple more photos of the dial, I think it's 90% embossed.
UG does have some embossed dials no? like this one

It's possible. The UG experts will know better. I just don't like embossed dials very much, they seem cheap to me.

Thanks for the input Dan. Guess we wait for the experts!

My take on this is that the font of "Universal Geneve" is not consistent with other ones i've seen, esp. the letter "R".

There are a lot of things I dislike about the printing. The sub-dial is particularly bad.

Do you have pic of inside and outside case back?
