Dial check on this Omega cal. 26.5

thewristelier · Sep 19, 2020

I may have a chance to buy this first one (has been on hold but hold expires tomorrow) but have a few questions..

1. 1930's "Trench" 9ct Gold Omega
- First off, is this a redial? It looks very similar to another one for sale on the Bay, with some minor coloration variance, but is this TOO clean?
- The hands look OK to me, but thoughts?

Got a cleaner photo of the dial...

Any thoughts on if this is a redial? I've noticed the width of the seconds markers on the right side is much larger (or at least from this angle) than the left side.

For comparisons sake, here's the same model being offered by a different seller:

My gut is telling me it's a redial. Not because of the asymmetry of the markers (which is probably just due to an off-center tension ring), but because of the text and logo. For example, I feel that there should be more obvious serifs on this italicized OMEGA.

I see what you mean, thanks for the input!
