Can someone help verify if this is a redial?

Welcome Jacob. Dial looks fine- in fact is in lovely shape.
My curiosity came with the S in Seamaster. I know that some models and a different text and I was worried about that. Otherwise that’s great to hear!

The “hanger S” because it looks like a coat hanger. That was used prominently prior to around 1962, then there was the transition over to the fat bottomed S like you have.

happy to oblige!!! The only thing that isn’t original is the crystal, I think. Maybe I can find a replacement

The fonts look great and first impression is it’s original. However, the ‘T Swiss Made at’ spacing as well as some of the minute track concerns me.

It’s probably the crystal causing this but I’d like to see it in hand to be 100%

You likely are. Most people think it’s original, I just have the concerns listed above but they may be due to the aftermarket crystal with different curvature.

Well hopefully that’s the case. You never can know with these things. All the lumed pips are there even know they barely give off any lume after a few decades haha

@Jacob Brueckman make sure all doors out to the street are locked and there is an armed guard at each one if you ever hand it to him 😁

Have I seen a dibs yet? Well in that case DIBS.
