    Here is a watch that carries a service dial. It is Omega, and old, believed from around 1960s.
    I present it here as a "part completed project" for the interest of the members.
    The watch is serviced, carries correct hands. Even the correct bezel.
    I will look for a dial, but not too hard - the whole watch seems to work as it is, and this is an original dial, albeit service, and that makes it quite rare and usnusual in itself.
    Note the long indices and the painted log, and the short spaced T SWISS T markings.

    I like it as is too. ? It's not marked "swiss" only since it's a service but were any of these made with the "t's" added as some later dials? May be a noobie to Omega question :) M

    Interesting certainly. Service dial, with Ts and painted (not raised) logo.

    Thanks for sharing

    Interesting.

    I'd assumed the dials seen on some straight lugs with the applied logo and short indicies were early 70's service dials but I wonder if they are actually from the late 60's and this is a 70's service dial.

    Will this service dial be the new DO90 bezels ? Must be much rarer than a 2998 original ?

    The dial is one thing, but the even aging on those hands is really what catches the eye IMO.

    I like it as is - the dial is part of the history of this particular watch.
    I don't know nothing, but I the dials until the -71 are stepped - so why should a service dial from the 60 be flat?

    That's my point. If it's flat, is it a post '74 service dial.

    What reference is this? A 2998-4 perhaps?

    The early 2998 dials are dome, not steeped. The 70s dials have the taller S, this one has the S of the 60s dials. Also the close Ts only appear on early 60s dials. These are among the reasons this dial belongs to the 60s than not.

    Both of them have been seen on 2998-2. What does the bible say?
