Very nice indeed ! I'd be grateful if you could give me both refs of the end links and bracelet ; they seem pretty well aligned with the doglegs, and this is not so often seen on dog leg Connies.
The clasp is Omega, but the end links and bracelet are reproductions that I source from England. I have 8.5 inch wrists, and even when I am able to locate an Omega BOR it is many links short.

I am with you on that, but this bracelet lets me wear it (not a strap guy) until the right BOR waves at me and says" "over here"

Purchased here. Thoroughly impressed with the accuracy and power reserve. First Connie, and I can see how one could spend hours looking at these dials.

Wonderful watch, sharp case!
Thank you so much! In for a service at the moment. So you would say the case isn鈥檛 overly polished? In my opinion it鈥檚 not, but interested in other opinions tough I鈥檓 no expert

I don't think the lugs are the issue with this watch. I don't want to take away your enjoyment of the watch but the fonts, minute markers, and cross hair are way too thick on the dial. Not an attractive redial to me.

I noticed it but attributed it to an aggressive camera jpg compression.

That's entirely possible. I've seen weird things in photos that turn out to be nothing. However the second photo showed the same thing (although blurrier).

Again, not trying to be a buzzkill. If OP enjoys the watch, that's all that matters.

I think the case is nice. If you want a serious opinion, I recommend sharper photos 馃榾

No problem, you are probably right but I did hope it wasn鈥檛 a redial. Did notice early on that the text was clear. But what鈥檚 a bit confusing is that I鈥檝e seen a few photos of 14381:s with similar patina, and clear text that appears thicker etc (found one on google just now). Maybe also redials of course. I think I noticed one in this thread also. Kind of hoping that they just aged that way for this ref 馃槈 haha.

That makes me happy. I will keep an open mind to it, Zman makes a good point and I will respect that opinion. May I ask why you do not think it鈥檚 a redial? Just curious.
