Hi I just would like some opinions on my Seamaster LU-6304 Linen dial. I just purchased it and seller said is was the original dial not redone but I'm not sure if he is correct. I have some good pictures and will post. I looks like there is some brownish coloring around some hour markers. The Seamaster logo at bottom of dial in black looks raised not flat. What makes me wonder if its a redial is it says only Swiss at bottom I was thinking it should say T Swiss Made T? any help would be great Thanks

 

Oh, I'd bet large that it's original. The reference number you gave leads me to believe it's a US made case, which would make SWISS correct.

ps - if that's a redial I want to know where it was done because it's perfect.

 

+1 original dial. In very good condition, too. Nice catch.

 

Nice condition original dial. As Dennis says, 6304 is an American gold-filled case from the 1964 collection, hence the "Swiss" not "Swiss Made". Here is the Omega database reference.

 

wheeew thanks!!! for the quick responses I felt pretty good about the purchase but was a little unsure. Here's a pic of the movement Cal 550 any comments on the time keeping on these?

 

Serial 19mil with that coat hanger S and no T on lumed dial are correct . Only the crown with 18K color, if you have chance to find the one with 14k color, it would be perfect.

Congrats.

 

Hey one other question I know the crystal is a replacement its not sighed. Is correct crystal available? Maybe Otto Frye or Jewles Borrel

 

Thanks Gatorcpa I wonder if the lume is Radium or Tritium?

 

It's in great shape. The entire 55x (non-date) and 56x (date) series of calibers are excellent movements both from a durability and accuracy standpoint.

Tritium, but just before the T's were put on the dial at the bottom near SWISS or SWISS MADE.

 

New crystal is available through Omega - part number is 062PN0296.

Cheers, Al

 

So if it available only at Omega probably the only way is to get one is to send it in?

 

Any watchmaker that has an Omega account can get you one.

Cheers, Al

 

Thanks for all the great info!! Now I would like to find a nice crocodile strap to put on it maybe horn back in Tan?

 

Nice looking watch, it deserves a nice strap...wear it well!

 

Kelaran. They sell on eBay under soulsis78556h:

Just look for 18mm lug width.

 

I forgot I had this Alligator strap in my watch goodies box so I put in on and think the color looks good with the gold. I ordered a Omega gold buckle to go with it. I'm starting to think vintage watches are like Layes Potato chips you can own just one!

 

That looks fantastic sryukon! Very Nice...And you are correct, one is not enough, it is a sickness...





And I'm one of the new kids on the block!

 

Very nice collection you have it bad

 

Don't get me wrong I'm very happy with my watch collection but my collection pales in comparison to some on here. Check out this thread...
