Hi guys, I just saw a post on omega enthusiast's Instagram showing a grey dial seamaster 600. The dial seems to play with light and exhibits dark grey or black at certain angle. It isn't something I see regularly, so I am curious… Does anyone know anything about this reference?

 

Standard 600 case ref - 135.011 or similar with uncommon grey dial.

I missed out on one a year or so ago. They do occasionally come up. Beware as there is also a 31/32mm version.

 

Sometimes called a "shantung" dial.
I just got one myself, at the watchmaker for getting original hands and crown, and a new crystal.

 

wow! that's really cool guys! I learnt something new today, thanks!

 

If it's anything omega Enthusiast is a great guy. Legit and does his own servicing. Prices are high but it's quality

 

Totally agree, he was super friendly and communicative over instagram and email. I almost pull the trigger a while back, but someone grabbed the piece I was eyeing on before me.

 

Lovely watch....

 

That type of grey dial is also seen on the Seamaster 30

 

There's a bit polished (and serviced) Seamaster 30 for sale at a local marketplace. Ref. 135.007:

uhhh not that cheap

A third of the prize would be more realistic in my opinion

 

Damn… that's quite expensive, the movement isn't even anything exceptional…

 

Charming dial but watch looks quite expensive to me...

 

Here's mine. I prefer the non-original hands!

 

those are some really awesome dials!

 

I almost went and bought it myself from Omega Enthusiast.

I've seen posters here say his pricing is expensive, so I'm wondering if there are any alternatives I'm missing? I'm a budding watch enthusiast and have yet to see anyone that can value proposition...

- Freshly serviced (according to this forum carefully done) & with very clean looking watches
- Authentic life-time warranty provided you service with him
- $100USD service which sounds pretty reasonable.

From what I understand so far, getting something for$300-$600 USD is hit or miss and I'll still have to service it.

 

Tim Mackrain from OmegaAddict would be a good bet, do read the description though, sometimes a dial could be a restored dial, that information would be stated in the text.

 

of course, buying from forum members is always a good option, but likely there won't be a life time warranty

 

I messaged Omega Enthusiast about this piece and the price he quoted me was bordering on absurd. He seems like a great guy though and in his defense, it's a dial I've never seen before.

 

What was the price?

 

This dial was also available with date version caliber 611 reference 132.019
