Hi. Any thoughts on whether this watch should have a signed crown and even whether this unsigned crown is too big? It’s from late 1930s commissioned by British Military for Civil Service India with a 30T3 movement.

I personally think the crown should be signed and be smaller but grateful for views

Omega 30t2 manual winding watches should not have logo on crowns.
Don't worry too much about that but spend more time on your dial which has been redialed wrongly.

Sorry what does that mean?

The dial was repainted in the past, which is a much more significant issue than a replaced crown.

Thanks. How can you tell?

Looks like it's been done by hand rather than the omega quality finish

Possibly correct. Not sure. The edge of glass is curved so on the picture it does distort how the dial looks versus reality

Once you've seen a few you can easily tell here this is done by hand
