Thanks for the input on the redial. I actually had to Google "redial" as I am not a collector. For those curious as to why I did it, here is my experience. I actually specified in my order with Omega NOT to change the dial or replace any of the original hands. I was never consulted as to the redial. When I picked it up at my local Omega dealer after it came back from Switzerland I must admit I loved the watch. I am not a collector, just a fan of old timepieces, especially those my grandfather gave me. My watches will never be sold by me but rather will be passed down to my boys. I just get a wonderful sense of pride looking down at my wrist knowing my grandfather purchased these rather modest watches because he though they were cool. I hope my boys use them, not keep them in a closet. I have about 20 gold family pocket watches as well that I never use but will never sell. I never use or see them, they sit in a closet. Seems like a waste of passion (for the makers and my forefathers who bought them).. So, I get it. For the purest I may have devalued my Seamaster, but I could not be more happy wearing it and it keeping perfect time 60 year on. My boys are 9 & 11 so who knows if they would ever wear something "mechanical" on their wrist
