Re: Omega 53 thin arrow dial.

Hello,

I bought this watch direct from the Ministry of Defence in the 1970's and it has never had the dial touched by me therefore how can it be a fake?,  you can also see that the dial is original with stains which have affected the numerals, also why does the dial still retain its original radium dots and thin arrow yet the numerals are Tritium?
