What are your thoughts on this 54 black dial? They seem to be hard to come by in good condition, this one appears quite good to me. I can't quite verify the numbers being correct due to my lack of knowledge on this area, anything that springs into your eyes? 1954 Seamaster Automatic Cal. 491 Serial 14.8XX.XXX Ref. CK 2848-1sc.
Looks ok from a distance but close up you can see some very uneven letters, most notably the E in Omega and the O in Automatic. Black paint has splashed onto the S in Seamaster, the following e is a mess and the rest isn't much better. That certainly looks like a redial to me.
This one needs to be seen under a loupe. Could be a very old redial There were some 1950’s Seamaster dials that were over-printed on top of already printed automatic dials. I can’t tell if this is one of them. gatorcpa
You guys are good! See 2 out of 3 , but can't see the issues with O and E so clearly. It looks like a very old job. It may be heresy, but if this was going for a real bargain I'd be a little tempted myself for use as a beater. Somehow it's got a great vibe about it!
