    Hello!

    I was looking online but I couldn't find an answer, not figure out the ref.number, so -
    Can anybody please help me to determine is this watch all original as seller claims?
    ...and if not - what's wrong with it?

    Sorry for the pics, I wish they are better but that's all I have...

    Thanks in advance!!

    It's a horrible redial, a massively over polished case and a crown like that never saw an Omega watch. :eek:

    Run away.

    Thanks! I believe the crown like that was used by Omega, but somewhere during the 70s...

    But not correct for the watch.

    It's from the late 1940s, gold case made in Meyrin by Genevor SA. It's a very thin gold case and most of the weight is in the brass case/movement ring.

    But as noted, it's a redial so not worth much to a collector.

    As they said is a redone dial. The movement is an Omega 30T2. The crown is wrong and the case is over polished but it's a rare case.

    Pity
