Hi, I am considering to buy this Omega. For sale locally at $1000. The dial looks very nice, but I am not sure if the crown is original. The reference number is also unusually placed. Please any advise or comments will be appreciated. Thanks. .
Crown is from a Bulova mate, If your want a point of reference there's a similar solid gold in the private sales section here for a mite less https://omegaforums.net/threads/fsot-omega-2328-17-8-14kt-solid-gold.25464/#post-287795
The second hand is also not correct, being too short. Movement is rusty and dial has some stains near the crown. Not sure if it's a good value for the money since the condition is not good overall.
The dial looks interesting if it is original but the rest of the watch is questionable. In addition to the crown and other issues mentioned the case clamps are missing and the train wheel bridge looks to be in much better condition than the rest of the movement.
