I really want to love this watch, but am concerned it's a re-dial. What does the crowd think?

Thanks!

I'm not a crowd, but I think it's a redial.

 

I would lean toward a redial as well. The font is crude and there is some clear mis-alignment between the applied markers and the minute track.

 

You should be concerned, because its a bad one too. The gold plated case is also heavily worn particularly along the bottom edges of the lugs.

 

Looks like a redial, here is another 267 from OF to compare "Omega" looks very rough

+ Wearing gloves presenting this watch is far over the top and would also make me suspicious

 

I much prefer looking at gloves compared to someone's dirty fingernails.

 

Ha, truth.

Alright, another one for y'all:

 

Both redials, I would say.

 

Where can I guy find an honest to goodness vintage Omega?!

 

Harder and harder to find, sadly. I'd say best bet is this great site right here - keep your eyes peeled for sales by experienced members. Good luck!

 

How long did you search so far?

 

It's been a few months that I've been searching for the right Longines, Universal Geneve, Omega, or Vulcain.

I feel perpetually lost...

 

Would be a lot easier if you decide to start with one of them, for example Omega Seamaster mid 1960s...

Or you check out the "Private Watch Sales" at OF

https://omegaforums.net/forums/private-watch-sales/

there you get presented a lot of different watches from other members. You can't post there, just send the seller a personal message by klicking at the sellers name.

Good luck!
