131.019 dial - proper hour marks or not, pointy vs flat?

mseamaster · Apr 29, 2024

I am trying to get my hands on a 131.019, and learning the dial.

It seems there are many dials on this one, but all of them have pointy hour marks.

However a few don't.

Which is genuine or are they both? Thanks.

Flat:

Pointy:

Both genuine. Lots of variation in dials at this time.

Also, is it normal for a dial to be golden while the watch is steel/not gold plated?

Not hugely common but it’s seen.

Thanks a lot. Any help learning to tell Omega vintage watches apart is much appreciated.

The best way to learn is to narrow down your preference to a couple of references and read as much as you can on those refs on this forum
