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...

I am no expert but everything I have ever read says no. I would think it is a redial and if I wanted it would point that out to the seller and try to negotiate the price down quite a bit.

Poor custom redial, this omega exists in ref 2445-1 case with bumper movement but with different dial... Here is example https://www.catawiki.com/l/35277341-ome ... 1-men-1950

Btw, crown is also chinese replacement part...

Is that band just for display or is there a trick to fasten it?

Anyone from HF got this one. I am curious whether it was sf240 or not😊

Unless the alarm hand was hidden under one of the hands, it is a non alarm. It went cheaply.
Indeed non alarm, but whether its 240 or the other small 8 day movement, many times found in angelus (ot abercrombie branded) weather station, remains an open question.
