I concur with connieseamaster that these are some sharp-looking watches likely refinished - nothing wrong with buying one if you are more into the aesthetics than collectability, those blue dials are particularly eye-catching!

However, those are relatively recent references as far as vintage Omegas go, so you should be able to find a nice original example with some patience. Yoda the vintage Omega purist would likely say...

Interesting. Anyone else have an opinion?

What opinion do you want? As I mentioned, if you simply read the listings you will see that the seller generally indicates that the dial is "repainted and refurbished". He's not trying to fool anyone.

Living in Korea the last 8 years and have visited almost all vintage watch shops in the country, I can tell you for sure that these watches are heavily refurbished. Not only the dial but in some cases the movements also. I have seen watches with many different decorations and color on the various movement parts.
I have personally returned two watches that I bought from a seller here.

Interesting you bring this thread up. I am the OP on that thread about shill bidding, I still hunt eBay every night, and I still have my suspicions about shill bidding on this seller’s auctions.

Korean specials. Not for me. This photo says it all. . .
I really do love yellow dial watches.
This one? Not so much.

At the risk of horrifying people, I kind of like it. Cheaper I’m sure than those new Rolex Oyster perpetuals.
