·Hello Community:
Despite getting hammered by the virus here in NYC, I find solace and comfort browsing the forum, reading opinions and comments etc. Stay safe everyone out there. My family decided to drive and stay in Long Island for about 2 weeks now to change the scenery somehow. Long Island is not as congested as Brooklyn so my 9 year old can play in the yard and bike on the streets without too much hustle. In any case I was offered this piece that I am about to show thru the Imgur Album link (sorry as I don't have the watch). I solicited some of our experts opinion and so value each one of them and 2 responses really validated my observations on the originality of the dial and the condition of the case. Beauty really is in the eyes of the beholder. Just curious how the others might find this piece. I will include the seller's descriptions of the piece. If the seller is a member of OF if my post warrants an apology, I am offering it now. No malice here just trying to expand the knowledge. Thanks.
This post is also about "A House Divided" (lol)
Btw, the seller is a pretty decent fellow.

- Looks to have been ever slightly polished, but overall nice crisp case.
- Knock to the left hand side of the case.
- Dial is overall in good condition with signs of aging, does has a small black mark near the 4:30 position.
- Dial is definitely 100% original and has an engraved center track. There's not much out there about these early engraved dials because of just how rare they are.
- Some slight case pitting on the inside which isn't too uncommon for these older Omegas.
- Movement is a 351 as expected and is in pretty good shape. Been keeping good time within the last 24 hours (<1 min).
- Serial number buts this as a 1951/1952 watch.
- Bracelet is in good condition and can be sized to between ~6." to 6.75" wrist without extra links.
- Crystal isn't signed but it may still be original given I don't know quiet when they started signing them. Its a low profile domed crystal so definitely very fitting for the model and not an obvious replacement.
