Looks like a rather recent redial. However, if the hands are original (and they might be), the watch could be as old as the 1940's. We would need pictures of the inside of the caseback and the movement to be able to give any additional information. gatorcpa
Thank you Canberra! Well, it means that is it a real Omega 50s? I will be very happy. This watch means a lot to me. Greetings
Definitely authentic. I will defer to @gatorcpa on whether the dial has been repainted/refinished at some point.
Information from Omega on Ref. 2495: https://www.omegawatches.com/planet...ache=1&cHash=43bf67f247cacc99908e12dd9b9b3b78 No pictures Definitely a redial. gatorcpa
Thanks Gatorcpa, Canberra and Efauser! But what means exactly "redial"? "Remake" or "Fake". Serial Number dates it to about 1959, but Ref 2595 to 1946. What means that? Is it a Franken? Is it authentic? Thank you and greetings!
As CanberraOmega said earlier, the serial number dates it to about 1950. The reference was first produced in 1946. What you have is an authentic case and movement with a refinished dial (not uncommon) and I'm betting the hands have also been replaced, also, not uncommon.
Thanks Efauser, I´m very glad to know that it is authentic! What think CanberraOmega about the hands?
Redial or remake means it still has the original metal dial, but someone else has repainted it. That makes the watch original (as all the pieces are correct), but significantly reduces the value. Fake means that the movement or case did not come from the omega factory. It came from somewhere else and is pretending to be Omega.
Thank You Canberra! It is a great Forum. I'm learning a lot. Maybe Gatorcpa hat a Idea, he wrote: "if the hands are original (and they might be), the watch could be as old as the 1940's". Greetings
Based on the hand style here are a couple of possibilities as to what the dial may have originally looked like. It would certainly had some sort of luminous figures to go along with the luminous filled hands. There were many, many different dials offered, these are just two I found on the web that fit the bill.
