Your suspicions are well founded. The dial has been "restored".
The most obvious indicator is the "E" of Omega centred immediately below the logo, it should be slightly offset to the right due to kerning of the complete word.
There are of course, other indicators, but after the first one hits my eye I no longer analyse them.

Yep redial.

To add to Jim’s comments, look at the position of the hour markers against the minute markers. You can see for example they are not evenly spaced.

Yes. Redial. See, where the tip of the minute and center second ends. Either the outer minute markers , or this watch had an inner minute track for these too short hands ....

Perhaps it is still worth purchasing and just a matter of a significant deduction for the dial.

I'm leaning the other way and think the dial could well be an original gilt dial. I'd like to see a couple more in focus photos to really decide.

Hands are obviously too short.

I assume that’s the shit in question. Which looks like it’s on the dial and not reflection/crystal related. I can say this with certainty: if that’s the original dial, those are not the original hands.
