Redial - several minute hash marks are missing. Typical flaw of redials. And not a fan of the overpolished case also.
Where? I'm not seeing any....

Minutes 21, 26, 30, 40.
Is it not possible that these markings degrade over time? Similar to the black painted gold dials showing the gold through over time. Especially as gold is a decent catalytic surface for oxidation of carbon-based molecules (paints). But I'm new to watches, so wouldn't know 馃槣.

Seems odd that someone would miss them on a redial, when every other marking is clear.

As promised, more pictures! Not great quality, but it's something. Font looks good, hands look good, most of the dial looks good. My theory is that the minute hashes may have come off from a careless clean of the dial at some point? It really doesn't look repainted at any place to me.

Fonts look good to me, my only concern is the vertical brushing is very prominent.


A very good redial if so. 99% are worse!

You know what, I've searched my soul and I'm totally OK with a very good redial 馃榿. I'm going to have whatever omega I end up purchasing for years and years anyway with no intention of reselling. Will await the seller's response to "why are the minute hashes missing".
