Thanks all for your inputs guys..
I was pretty sure of it being correct(except for the dial color). Made some references to articles and pictures online, and I still got it wrong *sigh*
Glad that I haven't pulled the trigger on this.
I've got a long way to go...
Can anyone post a pic of an actual original dial please?
1)@cristos71 - i've seen minute tracks on both inside and outside the dates though, they are all redials as well?
2)@Interstellar - how should the OMEGA look like on an original?
Thank you once again
I think the OP should slow down a bit and take some time to do a little more learning as there is quite a lot to discover and the more watches viewed the easier it becomes to spot the redials.
There are three ( non-solid gold ) references that are mainly seen, the 2471 ( steel or steel/gold bezel ), 2606 ( gold top ) and 2846 jumbo ( gold filled or steel ). Some are more common than others, but most are hard to find with good original dials as all the nice ones live with @MSNWatch 😁
There is also ref 3944 which is the square solid gold version and a couple of round solid gold references but I don't know all the reference numbers of these.
Each reference has in typical Omega fashion a multitude of slightly differing dial designs, featuring differing printed and applied indices. Some dials have an applied Omega symbol, some don't (maybe the earlier ones are printed- I don't know). Most dials are in light colours but they can also be found in black once in a while. There are two common hand variants. Some seldom seen 2471 dials are lumed, these will have lumed syringe hands.
Here are the three common references next to each other a 2471, a 2486 rose gold filled and a 2606 YG top all with applied Omega symbol and underneath a black dialed TT 2471 and lastly another 2471 this time with printed Omega symbol.
And finally a tip for help with dial analysis: study all the date track '2's, they should all be identical and with there being so many ( 13 ) there is plenty chance the re-dialer will have messed a couple up!
