Hi. Fairly new to this forum
was looking around the web, and saw this 30t2 omega with a dial that has quite an amusing omega logo.

is this dial good or nay?
particularly the omega font seems off to me, yet it could still be a niche variant from the 40's, so not so sure.

any opinions from the amazing experts on this forum would be greatly appreciated.

great thanks in advance.

Based on that photo I'd say it's an original dial.

I'm not seeing anything that jumps out to me as a redial based on this photo. What about it makes you believe that it is a redial?

That dial bears a family resemblance to this 30T2 I have from 1944.

Is it normal for the number "8" to look that way? Like its been overwritten (IMO)?

thanks everyone. just the fonts and numbers seemed quircky and handwritten maybe?
guess that's the charm of 40's omegas.

there are some differences though
like the middle "v" in "m" of omega not fully reaching the bottom, or the weird concave strokes of the "a".

to me, yours looks much more "original".

Mine looks more used and abused for sure.

Would the crystal on your watch shown in your opening post cause some distortion? Perhaps that's a question that could be posed to the Forum.

i dont think it is a matter of cryatal distortion.

the letters look like that from all angles.
