    Hi I got a Mark II 145.014. Not sure about the dial. At closer look, the script is suspicious (G and A) and the plot seems too rough. Can you guys take a look? Thanks, Frank

    Maybe it's the light or the resolution of the photo, but do the sub dials have the "concentric circle" finish?

    The whole dial looks off to me. Sub dials are wrong. The thickness of the lettering. The finish on the dial. Plus the color of the lum on the hands don't match the dials.

    Should look like this

    Well, there certainly are differences between the two dials shown.

    My thoughts too...

    Anyway, with photos like the one @fzhu052 supplied, no-one can tell with certainty.

    Probably slightly different executions of the dial between 1969 and the later produced service dials... you can also notice that the TswissmadeT is much narrower overall. I don't think there's enough money in fake MkII dials for possible redialers to bother catering to that market...

    Do service dials have the T SWISS MADE T on them? I thought they used Superluminova and not Tritium

    Not sure when all batches of service dials were made - a few could very well have been mf'ed in the 80's, I guess?

    Note that the early Mkii dials had the T Swiss narrower than later dials. This is from watch at the Omega Museum with early prototype hands.

    Thanks everyone! So I will take it that the dial is good. Maybe losing too much lume. It is with the watchmaker now and I will add more pictures in a couple of weeks when I have it back. Thanks everyone!
