My tuppence worth.

I'm no expert, but you could have a redial here. The text looks like it is sloping down to the left, but that may be an aberration due to the photograph, the minute markers extend beyond some of the markers and not others and the printing doesn't look as sharp and crisp as it should be.

I can't comment on the font itself.

The only oddity I can see - and it may be the effect of the glass on the face - is that the batons at 5, 7 and 8 have a tiny dot just beyond them in the outer chapter of the face.

 

I can't see those dots anywhere else...

The big problem is ...the serial# is from 1968. Well Deville became it's own line in 1967 so a 1968 should not read both.(so I have been told) As far as omega being painted on....I have seen both on many ...could just mean the painted ones are redials or fakes.

      Mark keeps a close eye on his forum. I'm sure if you asked him he will reply, he might not do it right away but you will receive his answer.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      I kind of think the same, the surface under the oil is the same as the surface around the oil. Can epilame both repel and attract , that doesn't quite make sense in simple terms, but is it more complicated than that.

      I agree with @JohnR725. Oil on an epilamed surface is essentially the same as water on a waxed surface. The same physical properties are at work (surface tension vs. adhesion).

      I think we all get a lot out of this group, and it has been pivotal in my development by the sharing of knowledge, experience and learning from more seasoned experts such as @JohnR725 and others (you know who you are!) as well as fellow novices. I think that having a backup communication plan in reserve so that if there is a future problem just makes good sense. I don't think anyone is trying to undermine the forum, but if something unthinkable happens, like the Ranfft website for example, then it would be good if those who are willing can still keep in contact. Speaking personally, and I know I risk a charge of heresy, it would be good if Mark could be a little more visible in this forum, and maybe give any insight from time to time on the future/progress of forum and instructional videos etc. even if its just to confirm the status quo. I appreciate he is a busy man with a full time job, but so are most of the rest of us and to post a few lines every now and then shouldn't be too much to ask to reassure the restless villagers. Best outcome for me would be a message saying something along the lines of: "Hi guys, all good, no planned changes... enjoy the forum, will message again next month!" Just my two cents.

      Omega cal. 565 - low amplitude

      A nice looking watch !! Did you try 9010, instead of the 9415, on the pallet jewels / escape wheel? And if you did, did you notice a difference?
