looks like a well done repaint job to me. I like that model anyway; if the price is right, I`d buy it . kind regards. achim
The "E" looks big to me but if it's US Army, nothing would surprise me. I agree with Achim, great model! Engraved caseback? That alone would have a cool factor for me. Good Luck, Brother!
Thanks for the feedback guys Well, I grabbed it. It appears to have been serviced earlier this year as it had a watchmakers receipt. I'll know a lot more when I get it. Deduct the cost if I had to service it and I think I got it for a fair price. Pics to follow when it arrives.
Dial is an old redial. Missing the widely spaced "Swiss Made" between 5 and 7. This is even mentioned in the Omega Archive: http://www.omegawatches.com/planet-omega/heritage/vintage-watches-database?ref=14328 Crowns for these turn up every so often. They should not be signed. Hope this helps, gatorcpa
