Hello all,

My first time over here on Calibre 11, but I am a regular over on the Omega Forum and MWR. I've been offered a Heuer alarm, I'd punt at early 60's/late 50's. Not sure on the reference but it has a passing resemblance to a 1306.

I think I already decided against it, becausee the case is too polished for my liking. But I am also suspicious of the dial. I'm almost certain it has been redone, but wanted to garner some wider opinion. As far as I am concerned, the Alarm text should be up near the Heuer and the Swiss is off centre. Also, batons and lume look a little suspect.

Opinions welcome.

Thanks,

Lawrence

Agree with you.

Here is a scan from OTD

There may well have been a series of Alarm models, but the dial finishing here is "off"
