    Dear All,
    Could you share your opinions on this watch? According to the seller it is 1949 Omega 36mm 2619 Cal. 265 18 k gold case.
    I liked the look of the watch and I wanted to bid on it on ebay, however, the dial looked too clean for a 73 year old watch, no patina et all.
    Could you tell me your thoughts about the watch?

    Definitely a repainted dial, though at least a reasonably nice looking one.

    Yes, very nice watch, but definitely redone dial.

    As the others have stated the dial has been refinished. Case looks kind of soft tho thats not uncommon for 18 k gold case. How high are the bids at now?

    It was sold for $1217 on ebay. I should have posted it before, but I came across only 7h before the end of biddings.

    Agree with Austin. I watched the auction from early on but, ultimately, more to get a sense of the market - the dial refinishing, although not terrible, resulted in surface that I was not attracted to.
