Before I send this back... It's a redial right?

I recently received this watch ... When I inspected the dial I immediately thought - "bad redial"... I contacted the seller with my concerns, and was told :

" We are an authorized dealer and service center for Omega. The watch was fully inspected by our watchmakers and all the parts are original "

They will accept the return, but I just wanted to double check, as sometimes I don't know if I'm just getting too jaded or cynical about such things...

Am I crazy? It's a redial isn't it? Thanks in advance for your thoughts...

I have to agree.. especially those subdials.. I'm sure the piece of metal is original, but the paint job on it doesn't not appear to be to me.

The fonts on that OMEGA look way suspicious.

Nice macro pics btw.

Quasimodo was a little heavy handed on the OMEGA font as properly noted.

Redials are tough, tough, and unfortunately, many sellers don't have the macro skills to properly show the dial. +1 on nice photos.

Lousy redial.

At the very least minute and hour hands are not original to this model. Probably not Omega hands either
