    My first impression is that this is a redial/repaint. The Seamaster font script looks wrong, the Swiss Made is off center. The indices markers look fine. Nice and centered up. 18Kt. case looks very polished and the lugs appear gouged, but could be lighting. Any thoughts? Am I right, wrong, way off base? Considering an offer but the Seamaster font is killing me. Can't believe Omega would let it out looking like that, but maybe the guy was drinking that day..

    Would be more concerned -too- about the combination of the old Omega-logo and the very modern font 'Omega' underneath.
    Have never seen those together on one dial, but eager to learn.
    My gutfeeling says: nope

    Edit: and the dial doesn't sit centered in the case, but that might be an off-day for the tension ring.... Nope

    100% sure it's a redial. "Seamaster" is wrong on several points, most obviously shape of first S and short middle leg in m. Plus what Willem said.

    Thanks for the replies. After 3 years I am still getting the hang of this. But the dial does just look wrong.

    Swiss Made off centre, didn't look any further.
