I like all early Omega chronos especially with the button an six o clock. One of my concerns about buying this one (even if its cheap) is the dial. It doesn't seem right. Any comments? |

The dial is redone. Get a movement shot before purchase, I'm not sure it's real. |

I thought so. All the other early trench style watches for sale by this guy have a similar dial style/colours which was a give away. Please see movement. Not sure how much is original - looks ok. Case is original and signed. Would be interested in how much you think this is worth as is. Cheers |

I think the chrono bridge is not original to the watch. It doesn't appear to be jeweled! Hard to palce a value on it, the dial really hurts it. Maybe $1600-1800? I think in cases like this collectors would prefer to pay more and get a watch with an original dial. |

Thanks for your comments. I let this one go even though the guy only wanted a few hundred dollars for it. |

I think it's a buy at a few hundred. |
