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.

      Saying hello

      Omega cal. 565 - low amplitude

      By swiss2k · Posted

      Thank you!   Yes I did. I did not notice a difference. Although 9415 is advertised as a thixotropic grease (and I did had high hopes for it), the only advantage at this point I see is that its “easier” to apply than an oil (if one does not use epilame). But this is subjective, I guess. What I did notice though, if you apply a bit too much grease, that definitely slows down the movement. Oil in this case is a bit more forgiving, as its super thin, and it would usually just spread out.  Again, imho.

      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

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      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. When cohesive forces within a liquid are stronger than the adhesive forces of a surface then surface tension is high causing the liquid to bead up. So  an applied epilame coating reduces the adhesive force of a surface inhibiting a fluid to wet the surface. So i guess no epilame cannot both repel and attract . If something is keeping the oil in place on top of an epilamed surface then there must be another reason for 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).
