Hello forum friends ...

This listing on Ebay could be interesting ... this is the 616 Cortebert caliber which must be reconditioned.
Maybe useful to some expert watchmaking friends in this forum.

I think it's 99% chance it's not a sf240 (compass on top has much thinner bezel than the ones with sf240 and the stem has a thickening only seen on 32mm "other" 8 day movements),but one can never be sure.The seller has been helpful,but he doesn's dare to open the case and make photos of the back.The seller is trustworthy,though,I bought a sixsome from him in 2019 and it all went well.

Is this Omega with Cali dial real? Did Omega ever made a watch with cali dial?

I’ve seen similar versions of these floating around eBay before. Omega never did a California dial unfortunately. Surely whoever is making these is a member here.

Why such a weird conclusion?

It seems like a well made dial by a homage/replica enthusiast so it stands to reason that they would be members of a popular forum for other homage enthusiasts? Is that a weird conclusion?

There are lots of people / companies who are making dials, who never even heard of this forum. That fact that the dial is custom is hardly enough evidence to make such a conclusion...
