    Never seen one like. I am pretty sure it is an original and not a redial. IMG_0961.JPG

    No, but stranger things have happened.

    Particularly with vintage Omegas.

    Not an expert, but was on the hunt recently. Never saw one with a cross hatch like that. References to black and silver dials. AJTT is packed unfortunately.

    Result of a cleaning gone wrong?

    No, the design is intentional and the print is intact. I looked through AJTT, nothing there.

    Are those markers something that would be on a ranchero? I thought a key attribute was the pointed markers, not bars.

    Interesting..

    Bars are ok for the ranchero and agree with @Joe K. that the printing looks original here but have not seen this dial texture on a ranchero before.

    Very nice and unique texture! Looks just like a meteorite dial!

    Never seen one either but wouldn't surprise me if it's original. The dial reminds me of some of the 2nd gen Globemasters.
