    Here's a pristine dial from an Indian seller. I take it we can assume it is a redial, and an unusually understated one from the Easter egg colorists of the Subcontinent. They may have decided the market for puce and chartreuse dials is saturated. I am curious about the markers however - they seem unusual - legit?

    Never seen markers like that on an Omega of any vintage. I seriously doubt they were on the dial as it came from Bienne. More likely the originals were solid gold and scrapped.

    Yes, quite likely original. Omega made 100s and 100s of different dial designs.

    Here are a few less common styles.

    And those I've seen,;) Although with hundreds of variations as Norm stated, we may not no knowunless someone finds the same markers on another watch. Lets be on the lookout:thumbsup:

    Markers are probably original, but the dial is a ham-handed redo. Never seen lume dots inside the markers on any Omega.
