Doesn't look right to me. A stepped, round O, wide spaced TT Dial? Fonts are off too. Am I missing something here? Service Dial? Bogus redone Dial? https://www.ebay.com/itm/152156596576Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network For comparison, a correct 105.003-65 Ed White dial is below
A stepped wide TT prepro service dial? I don't remember seeing one. Not on speedmaster101.com service dial article. Aren't the "2" supposed to match? Even on a service dial?
To me, it looks like the dial has been touched up in certain spots, especially the sub dials and OMEGA. Look at the 7 hour mark on the sub dial. The paint ran past the edge of the sub dial. All the paint looks too thick. Wonder what it ended up going for?
Here's a similar dial as seen from @divertimer on Instagram. Font appears the same at first glance. May be a different service dial for @Spacefruit to catalogue. https://www.instagram.com/p/BYq0AuMj2w7/?taken-by=divetimer
For absolutely accuracy it is on speedmaster 101 but I am sure William can point you to it, in case here it is. So, before anyone conjures up some wonderful myth about these dials they are mid/ late 60's service replacements, I have a friend who has a one owner 2998 which had a movement replacement and dial replacement in 1967, this dial was fitted then including a NOS 1967 movement and he has the receipts to back it up. I would also add it has a complete Omega service history for its entire life and the only time it mentioned a dial and movement change was 1967, which the serial number on the movement corroborated and matched to the records I did quite a lot of research for him and concluded that it is a service dial (to an extent) but so few have been seen that I came to the conclusion it was produced for a very short space of time in the late 1960's, sure I could be wrong and welcome further views but I have seen evidence that one of these dials was fitted in 1967. I don't believe this is any different to a blue dial service dial or a grey service dial (other than the obvious value), you can chose to agree or disagree I really don't mind but there are as many of these I know of as there are blue metallic service dials, people place a value on the blue service dial because it is 'different' this is no less different or rare. I am not suggesting that it should increase the value of an ed white but I certainly wouldn't be put off buying one with one of these dials Thanks Tom
I agree that I wouldn't be put off buying one of these service dials, but I'd take a grey, metallic, or soleil dial over one of these any day of the week.
