    5 digit serial number is strange. See sellers comments below

    Edit: Seller lists the dial as original but redone. Regarding the movement, Seller insists the movement is a very early 321 movement, but not labeled 321, and the serial number is correct. He maintains that Omega serial numbers were haphazard in the 1940's.

    Dial original but redone. Yup!

    Movement needs further study. Possible I guess...

    If I had to guess, I'd say its an Omega bridge on an non Omega Lemania movement from another watch.

    Yeap, the Lemania serials on these are typically 5 digits so thats most likely what it is. Seller gets points for trying on the "Omega was haphazard in the 40s" statement though.
