I'm a Brit and I have a problem with repainted dials.

Acknowledging it yourself is the first step!

You might have started something here - ‘Omega Forums Anonymous’!

“my names David, this is my first meeting and I have a problem with over polished cases and sellers using the term New Old Stock where it doesn’t apply”.

Apparently you folks all live in a perfect world with perfect watches in which case I suggest you switch to other brands fetching much higher prices but definitely not Omegas which had their manufacturing weakness like cases suffering from oxydation from the inside, this confirmed by a retired Omega factory watchman who recalls of host of cases returning for case swaps. But of course living in a democracy, I leave you with your whims and fantasies of absolutely perfect Omega and scorn and detestation for not perfect ones

Holy moly, this means Omegas worth is close to nothing. Sad. The Brits have no pb whatsoever with repainted dials. Actually most of the very old ones are repaints, wherever you look, ebay or internet shops

I got the picture of the forum where I am a freshman totally wrong. I had no idea that only "pristine" watches were legit for you guys, the rest good more or less for the trash can. For me - this comes with the fact I am an antique collector - what can be enshrined with care and attention from the past instead of put aside/shelved has its merits and a redial, even not perfect, is this sort of rescue operation I value.
