The dial is one of (it not, the) major component of a watch. Rather than buying this, then spending a significant amount of money having head office refinish the dial (which will then look better but will be a redial nonetheless), why not buy an original one?

How long would a restoration with dial refinishing take at Omega?
Rught. There's a reasonable chance of finding one of these with an original dial within a year.
Even if the right example took longer to locate, I'd pay that price for an original dial.
I suspect you'll look down at me but a factory redail doesn't bother me for a watch I'm going to wear... and I wear pretty much everything I have unless I'm looking to sell it.
Now, mind, I said a factory redial.
But I am just not a collector and truly don't understand firstly the collector mentality and secondly what people talk themselves into that is OK. Like putting those ugly straps on vintage watches when NOS vintage examples are available.
I drive my watchmaker nuts because I always want to relume any watch with deal lume. 馃榿

I understand you like a factory service along with new parts and don't understand why vintage collectors favour original dials in average condition over brand new service dials etc.
However, in this case I think decent, original examples of this ref are available for the cost/effort required to equip this with a service/factory redial.
I'll admit I'm making assumptions here as I don't know the asking price.

But there's re-dialling and there's ruining.
Other than the dial, what's wrong with it?
Other than the dial, what's wrong with it? If I wanted that (well I do but no $$$) I might have Omega refinish the dial and wear it...

Why waste time and money putting lipstick on a pig? (Someone's already polished the turd)
