..this piece means to me as case study...
..the markings and the brand seemed to be printed (thin), not inked as in most re-done ones, so i guess i'll settle this one as a genuine, plus the type of hands seemingly supportive to that objective. In fact, everything that it is seems so right in place. But still ODD.
..as for commissioning concerns, let's just conclude as an ordinary military watch - back then.. in the 60s and 70s, Omega is just too big a branded establishment (bigger than Rolex) and it seems anything goes for the Omega brand. DIvers and pilots and so on, etc. An amateur's opinion, btw.
..got it laying around in a shop for a couple of hundreds, shop owner says been laying in some drawer for as long as he can remember. He's owned the darn shop for 2 decades.
..still i consider it an interesting look on a piece of history's twist ..or swapped - just as Graham mentioned.
..Thank you all very much for the discussion, let's hunt for other odd timepieces, shall we? 
Weird Omega 601 - Authentication needed
Dear Forum, Recently acquired this weird looking 601 - 135.041 with engraving of A/1815 on the back case Have no idea if its a fake or genuine dial, please help Much appreciated ...
should be...
Hi, relying to the Omega website this Ref should be OK with cal. 601 - the dial might be legit - I do not know why you doubt? What does concern you? regards erich
..coz i never seen anything like it..
.. it looks like a military dial yet might be not.. btw thanks for the input mac
you see quite a lot of cal 6xx's with military looking dials
a lot are for sale in far east and i'm never sure if they are redialled so i avoid them, but this looks ok to me. G
thanks for the input G99...
..another thing is some years dont really match to logic as arent these 601s supposed to be of 60s to 70s production? so why the military dial? vietnam war or korean? well i'm an amateur so excuse my plenty of questionings...
This is a new one on me . . .
. . . as I've never seen this dial before, but for what it's worth (and it ain't much), my sense is it's a refinished dial. The script looks right to my eyes, as do the tracks and markers, and the hands also seem to be the correct length and type if this ...

despite what we regularly see on fleabay, i dont think the 6xx calibres were ever used as military watches Art, however, there are a lot of these dials around. most are refinished in this style because sellers think thats what we want, but i just dont bel...

funny you should say that Art because i've just bought a t shirt which says pretty much the same thing. it has the omega symbol in it although i dont think it was intended to be read as i and perhaps you, read it. pic attached G On 6 Jan 2013 20:54, "www ...

its designed for men much younger than us Art and in the sale cost me £5.00. i know that the omega symbol is not meant to mean anything, but it suits me, or will when it arrives. i can tell you where to buy them online. G On 6 Jan 2013 21:57, "www watchpr...
