So glad to share I'm joining the Admiralty club after purchasing a hand winding, no-date, grey dial Omega Admiralty 135.015.
I still couldn't put my hands on it, but by the pictures (below) of the seller, it seems to be in excelent conditions and all original.
And honestly, I was only able to seal that acquisition because I found here in this 7-year thread all the information I need and even more. It was a very pleasurable experience to go through every single comment and I feel really gratefull for you guys who shared your knowledge and experience these watches.
As soon as I it arrives here in São Paulo I'll take better shots and add here.

Looks nice, looking forward to seeing more pics when you have it in hand.

I've had several of the diver style Admiralty watches and would like to have one like yours one day.

Whereas on this one, the anchor is thick and too small.

I recently came across a watch with a similar dial for sale.


Here are the errors in my opinion:

- Anchor error as pointed out.

- All types of "T Swiss" text is supposed to be placed between 27 and 33 minute makers the original. While this redial has it spread wider (between 26 and 34)

- The Omega symbol is also incorrect and accents in the text are different.

- No tritium anywhere on the dial except the 3 window. (Even the argument of old tritium flaking off without leaving any signs is weak)

- Minute track is inconsistent all long specially the think lines corresponding to the hour markers



I am not an Omega Expert but all these errors together are highly unlikely and this is a case of a batch of redial from a particular studio since a reverse image search reveals a few of these for sale in the past.

A few experienced collectors and watchmakers share my opinion while 1-2 are going the 'special unseen dial' route. Interested what the community thinks and if there is any contrary opinion.
