    Hello, dear respected members,
    I'm planning to buy this/these watch... 1968222.jpg 1968222_im.jpg 1968222-1.jpg 1968222-2.jpg 2074434.jpg 2074434_im.jpg 2074434-1.jpg 2074434-2.jpg
    But seems the attention draws more into the CK2014, As the dial is almost too good to be true for its age.
    What do you think? Is it redialed? Refurbished? or Original?
    Because I'm not as knowledgeable on the omega dials from the era prior to 40es...

    Thank you in advance!
    Best
    Jev

    The Omega is almost certainly a redial. Too bright for a 80+ year old dial with radium hands and numerals. Not a bad job, but starting to age. Someone took care to match the numerals with the hands. Nice touch. But still a redial.

    The Universal is almost certainly an original dial. How do I know?

    Whether that dial was originally in that case when it left the factory is another matter. I would need to see other examples of Ref. 10368, which I understand is a Polerouter Jet reference, to know if the above dial style was used.

    Hope this helps,

    I confirm the Omega has a redone dial
