Hi all,

Found this on eBay and it seems nice, but was wondering if it is redialed. Due to my lack of experience, I need your help.

I’m betting it’s redialled and that the sweep second hand is missing a tail.

This is my 351

Many thanks!
It is somehow hard to say on these models from the 1950s as the "Omega Automatic" sign does not really look printed, but rather hand painted.
Or sometimes the Omega crown almost steps on the sign "Omega Automatic".

Some example below from my research when I was trying to compare with other models.

Which one it isn't?
Just to have it as reference.
Number 3 is the one which looks the cleanest. The print on the others is really sloppy on the omega text and indices.

These pictures look like they were taken with a Nokia 3310…

Quality aside, the minute marks are very badly lined up… some are missing, some are doubled up, none of them have the same length.

Also worth watching the lugs, I think several of them you have attached (perhaps also the first one) have some bend in one lug. Easier to tell with a face shot, without perspective.

Almost every dial in this thread has been VERY poorly repainted. I would suggest taking some time to observe and study.
