    Don't bother, severely polished case and refinished dial.

    Many Jewelers that sell watches retail through brick and mortar are, it's what they think the public wants.

    Just the fact that it's a redial that's not true to the original fonts.

    Where can I find example of actual original dial?

    I would like to say the Omega Vintage Database, but the pictures there lack the most basic of details.

    I would like to say eBay, but for every good dial, there's likely to be three bad ones.

    I would like to say the Antiquorum auction database, but there are a lot of redials sold there (cataloged as originals) as well.

    Bottom line, is that I only know of one reliable source for quality pictures of Omega watches, and that is A Journey Through TIme by Omega. Even there exists a few that I'm not too sure about...
