Hey guys,

So I purchased this Omega impulsively back in 2015 and have no idea whether its a redial or no, Ive tried searching for images on Google based on the caliber and year(1952-55) and found somewhat similar dials without 'engravings of the minute track and a different "S" font.

Would appreciate it if you experts shed some light on this.

 

Although the printing seems a bit heavy I would say its original.

Here is another one from the same period with the same minute track.

 

Looks original to me.

 

Very interesting! thanks so much guys. I wish these Vintage Omegas would be as easy to spot-check as vintage Rolex models.

 

It is a matter of long experience... and not as hard as you might imagine

 

Looks original but why would the printing be so bold?

 

I'm guessing that the print has been damaged over time by moisture etc, making the ink slightly blurry.

 

Perhaps relumed, however I believe the the daggers have recesses for lume.

 

This S font is original? I have a lot to learn as I studied it and thought it to be a vintage redial before I scrolled down for the expert's call. I started my own thread last night asking about the S fonts and tricks of the trade, but aside from having 2 people say the coat hanger S was gone after '62 there wasn't much info given. This S, to my NOOB eye doesn't look like a "correct" coat hanger script. Can more enlightenment be given.......please?

Thanks so much guys for the insights. I was actually debating on selling it if it was a redial, now I might just take in it for a much needed service.

Any leads on where might be a good place? I'm located in Chicago
