Hi,

Found another watch for sale, don't know if dial is original. And, how can you tell if it's been redone?

Thanks, Matthew

 

oh boy.... Matthew..... please read the description of the listing... all of the listing you have posted here already have the answer to your questions, yes this is a refinished dial.... it said so in the listing... Dial : Refurbished <-------

 

Oh! Getting too ahead of myself like always. Too Excited? Thanks!

 

A particularly ugly frog you have kissed there, Matthew!

Catching Redone dials can be difficult sometimes, you almost develop a sense or feel. I am still a long way off!

Other times, it's not as difficult, as in this case when the seller tells you !.
Lume and dial look brand new (lume changes colors with 60 years of age)
SWISS MADE is not positioned properly
Font or Letters are too thick and not nearly as well done as by the factory

Dials are like women's faces, if they don't show their age, they have had work done!

Remember yesterday when I said a seller had to be in a good location?

Unfortunately, some areas are notorious for fakes and reworks and India, Ukraine, some of Eastern Europe and some South America countries lead the blacklist.

Matt, you have done well to ask before buying.

 

Thanks again for your help! I would always ask the great people on the Omega Forum first. And i will definitely be checking all the information.

Matthew

 

N00bs sure have a way of picking those redials, eh? Even when it's in black & white print in the description!

Happens to the best of us Matthew.

 

Thanks! I know, I'm too excited to even read it. Ha

 

Yeah, I know can't always trust what sellers say.

 

Description mentioned redone dial but does not mention generic, non-Omega hands.
