Hello, could you help me if this dial looks ok?

To my understanding everything looks good minus the the fact it's SWISS MADE but there is lume on both hand and dial. Does this mean someone added the lume on the dial afterwards and replaced the hands as well? Or would this be a redial?

Thanks in advance.

dial looks original to my eyes, hands? I, at least have a question with zero research.

I have the day-date version of this watch, the dial & hands looks good to me. The lume colour on the dial and hands look to match, which would suggest it's original, too.

dial looks original. the fact that it says swiss made does not mean it does not come with lume. and the texture it s called linen dial. either you love it or you hate it.

‘SWISS MADE’ or ‘T SWISS MADE T’, it can be either with C cases even with lume on the dial.

It's a perfect watch, probably all original and raw, maybe the only issue is the rough endlinks that no longer fit the watch too well, but it's common as well, maybe 60% of 518 endlinks fit weirdly like this after use - you need to bend them back by hand just a little bit for a better fitment but no way to take back the side wear

Handsome watch. It would look great on a croc strap as well.

whatever happened to croc straps? are they possible to buy to lincensed sellers?

You have to use alligator now. They are farm raised and domestic. Sadly, with the politics churning the world today, we will probably be forced to buy vegan straps in the future.

I learned today, from an old OF thread of course, that this dial pattern is referred to as "Florentine".

Omega, in its original literature on the C Class called the finish 'Silky Guilloche'

probably all original and raw,

Is the crown original though? It looks like it’s just too big.
