Omega 166.003 - Redial or not?

[matmunk]

Hello,

Looking for your opinions on whether this Omega 166.003 has been redialed. I am in the process of purchasing this watch, and to my eye (and according to the seller), the dial is untouched, but a friend of mine caused me to have some last-minute doubts. What do you think?

Hello, at first glance and by this single picture I pledge original. Probably with onyx-inlays 👍

Some of the text looks slightly thick but I think that’s the picture quality.
Original imo.

I also think is original but i still have a lot to learn about how to spot redials..

Your watch looks fine to me. Here’s my 165.003 for you to use for comparison purposes

Spruce, I remember, we had the discussion before: lume-plots on the dial but no lume on the hands.....legit?

btw: Are these onyx-inlays?

Yes, I recall and it is an anomaly.

I think the hands are original but when I got the watch they’d been badly relumed and I got them cleaned out. (Original seller’s photo below)



That said, the same i***t who relumed the hands may also have had a go at the lume dots, but they aren’t so intrusive.

I’m not sure if painted or onyx inlaid but I’ve tried a blow-up and possibly inlaid.

Thank you everyone for the responses

I have included a higher res photo for good measure.

I’m afraid that @Fallout Boy and have rather hijcked your thread.

What’s the asking price on yours?
