Hi all,

I've been reading up on what to look out for with old Omegas, more Geneve and Seamasters and trying to get used to spotting redials. I struggle with trying to find out if they're polished though! Anyway, would I be right in saying this is a redial? It looks as if the hands have been changed, can't tell with the polishing though

What leads you to this conclusion?

The dial looks fresh and the hands have been changed as the minute hand is too long and the style does not match the indices.

Would I be wrong?

Your dial, case and hands look okay to me. This is my 136.070 cased 613 watch.

It's nice! This one says it's a 166.070. is that incorrect then? Do you think it's been polished? It's one I've seen but thought it had been redialed

Searching the Omega vintage database is part of your due diligence.

Note that the second number needs to be four digits. If it's not, add a zero after the period/dot.

Thank you.

That's interesting, the movement is incorrect, it should be 563/565 but this is a 552.

Dial looks good but I think you can find these with a correct movement fairly easily
