I can not seem to find a nice all original to buy at this point...not in my $$$ range so far lol

How about this beauty?
Lov the look of this watch!!!
Hoping for some good news on this one!
What ya think fellas?

 

I don't think I can resist this one lmao. The hands are the original type for this watch as far as I can tell. The dial just looks to good to be true.I mean is it even possible for a watch from 1964 to have a dial that cherry? With being a redial that is...

 

The dial does look too good to be true but it doesn't seem to have any of the usual obvious tells for a redial. Does the font match others you have seen? Check the s in seamaster and the font of the M and A in Omega. It looks fairly honest but that might also be down to photoshop.

 

The dial says
T Swiss Made T
That means there should be lume in both the hands and dial. While I can see the lume in the hands, can't see lume on the dial.

 

Unless it's the light reflecting off the end of the markers, it sure looks like lume dots on the 7, 10 and 12.

 

It does appear to have the lume dots on the dials marks

 

It does and it's a beauty. Enjoy!

 

Anymore opinions?

It appears to have all the correct fonts.
If it is a original dial what spending ballpark am I looking at?
If it is a redial then what ballpark?

My mission is to find a 600 in this style !!
Must have one!!!

 

No expert here. Looks good to me.

 

Just one concern - whats happening with the case back - has an inscription been removed, or has it spent time on a nato and its been rubbed?

Other than that, it looks great

 

What do you mean my nato?

 

nato strap.

 

I see, so you are asking it it has been a every day wear on that type of strap which can cause damage to back of the case?

 

Also...what does that "keyhole" on the inside of the case back mean?

 

It doesn't really damage the watch as much as "polish" where it's in contact with the case.

 

The face is good. The case is less good. The crown is a replacement, not correct for the model

 

So the owner said it is from it being on a nato strap for 20+ years!!! Wow man!!!

 

Is a crown something a noob can replace? Is it as simple as screwing it all the way out and screwing the proper one in?

 

I think @Sherbie has the eagle eye. I was just explaining what a "nato" is.

 

Amazing correct conclusion good sir!
