·I too think it looks quite alright. What makes you suspect a redial?

·While the text looks quite good, I still think it’s a redial. Two reasons: 1) crosshair doesn’t go through text, 2) lume plots seem to be missing on the dial (see the half-moon shaped spots for them at the end of the markers).
What reference is this? That would help find others like it, if it is indeed correct.

·What reference is this?
Refer to the OP's images for the non-luminous hands and reference numbers. The watch looks right as rain to me.

··Vintage Omega AficionadoDial looks just fine to me.
As I have said in previous posts one needs to take the overall condition of a watch into consideration before saying redial. This watch is in excellent condition and appears to even retain the original yellow gasket.

·Thanks for all the help on this. Its my first Cross Hair and a little different to my normal watches (I have more modern ones). It came with no paperwork (no reference number) and no box. Hence my scepticism. It just looked too new to be true and my issue was the broken cross hair line and the fact that the line does not quite line up with the 6 marker.

·My initial thoughts exactly, but then the hands have no lume which to my understanding they would have on the vast majority (as in 99%) of watches with lume dots. I also believe there are dials which do not have the crosshair run through the text. But indeed a reference number would make things easier.
those two points would make me suspect a redial ordinarily. However, if that’s been redone it’s pretty much the best I’ve ever seen.
also, these broken crosshairs were seen on this reference, particularly on the black/technical dialed Seamaster and the font/layout is identical to the OP watch so I’m also calling original.

·Missed the inside case back photo somehow 
Yep, seems like this reference is an exception to the rule. It seems there are Seamaster, Geneve, and Seamaster Geneve variants all with the crosshair stopping at the text. I still find the lume plots on the markers odd but maybe they were just being cheap!

Don't be too hard on yourself. If it was me there would be a 50-50 chance If I was even talking about the same watch 😁
