Original or redial ?

Thoughts ?

 

MAybe its the distortion of the high magnification, but I think this is a redial.

 

You can see the indices "bleeding" into the subdial. That is a classic sign of a redial.

 

I think its all-original. The fonts look crisp with the proper serifs at the end of each numeral / letter.
A well preserved specimen, congratulations.

 

Forgot to mention this is the 38mm variant, on others of this size I've seen the 5, 6 and 7 indexes are "eaten" by the subdail

On the traditional 35mm there is no 6 while the 5 and 7 don't meet the subdail . . .

 

Hmm! Perhaps you're right, but I'd like to see some examples.

 

Well, the indices only encroach on the subdial in the second and third new ones. The second one IMO is a redial and in the third one - it only does so very slightly, if it can even be said to.

 

Appreciate your input, its a tough call, not a lot of this reference to compare . . .

Waiting for seller to send a movement pic, will decide after taking a look at the inside

 

No problem. And by the way - just as clarification (prompted by the photos you sent), when I said "bleeding", I don't mean that the numbers are partially blocked by the subdial. What I means is that some of the ink of the indices 5, 6, and 7 has literally been printed within the subdial circumference.

 

Indeed, seller bought at Private Eyes while in Japan

Maybe time to bow out, was sorely temped at $500 . . .

 

confirming age from sellers just received movement pic

 

sadly no reference on OVD

 

New to the forum and new to the world of Omega. Could I get an opinion or two on if something like this would be a decent start for a beginner?

 

If you could live with those upside down numbers on the re-dial
