Is a "restored" dial the same as a "redial"?

rzdh · Nov 3, 2014

I have been looking at this watch on Ebay:

http://www.ebay.ca/itm/omega-automa...?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item541351ccf7#viTabs_0

Everything looks great, but the description mentions that it's been restored. Does that mean it's been repainted or cleaned?

Gut is telling me to just wait for one that is all original.

Gut feelings are your subconscious telling your conscious the facts that your conscious is ignoring in the haste to buy a watch.

As a noob to vintage Omegas, let me try ID-ing some giveaways to a re-dial in the one above:

The big 'S' isn't shaped correctly, and the 'ter' in 'Seamaster' is bold compared to the rest...

I'm sure there's more 😁

Also, isn't the lower part of the 'G' in OMEGA too 'tight'?

I'm sure there's probably some other more obvious features I'm missing, too...😵‍💫
