Hi, new to the forum, and I was hoping to get some expert advice.

I have a few modern JLCs but I'm not an expert, and I know little about vintage JLCs.

I found one on sale and would like to ask the experts if the watch is a frankenwatch? Also, are there other 'warning signs', looking at the watch?

The dial is fairly patinated, but I'm OK with it, as I have several other vintage Omegas with patina that I'm quite happy with.

Thanks in advance!

Looks genuine to me. The top is chrome plated, so I'd look for wear on the high spot and edges. As a chrome plated watch, it is less desirable than an all steel one.
