All original, to the best of my knowledge. The case has been lightly polished. Good running and just serviced caliber 351 Omega bumper wind automatic movement with 17J. Serial number 12xxxxxx dates the watch to 1950. The case is all stainless steel and signed on the inside and with the case ref number 2577-4. The case is screw back. The original silver dial has raised arrow markers and sword hands. Original signed Omega crystal. Original signed Omega crown. Signed Omega s/s buckle mounted to new dark brown leather strap.
    Price is $575 shipped CONUS with payment by wire or PP with no fees to me. Will ship to other destinations at actual cost. Three day return period with full refund less shipping expenses.

    I am no expert, but the buckle, the crown and the dial raise some doubts to my untrained eyes.

    The hands too, actually since the dial has lume and the hands not.

    I am not an expert and many on here know more than I do. I would appreciate it if others would chime in. If the consensus is that watch is not all original, then I will pull the listing..

    It is certainly not all original. The crown is incorrect, and from a later time period, and I don't believe that such a clean dial could have possibly left the factory with a movement showing that kind of degradation. The hand also appear to be incorrect.

    I appreciate all of the feedback. One of the reasons this is my preferred watch forum is the level of expertise that members are willing to share. The watch is withdrawn.
