Hi, I am looking for a replacement dial for omega pie pan 564 and have been offered one by an old watchmaker here. However I am no expertise in this matter and would really appreciate experience member here to have a look at it. Here is the aformentioned dial. Greatly appreciate it.
Real dial that has been refinished. The script is very well done. Periphery and minute markers a bit off.(periphery should be radial) For a refinished dial you probably won't find better. All depends on what you want and what will satisfy you.
Two other points on this dial: 1. There are notches for luminous material in the markers that was not replaced. 2. The printing seems a tiny bit too large and out of proportion with the markers and star (which look to be original to a period Constellation). Hope this helps, gatorcpa
@cicindela and @gatorcpa, thank you so much for the input. Really appreciate it. I think I will.get this since its been a year looking for a replacement dial.
BTW, it is possible that this is an Omega service replacement dial. Most rediallers will make scratches on the back side of dials to help with ID of jobs after work is done. gatorcpa
Looks like it will fit the case but it is a lumed dial withou t, he has to add a t next to Swiss Made to fit it on a 564. 561 with serial lower than 22 mil is ok.
I think the Ref. 149XX cases are the same size as Ref. 16X.005. But not 100% sure. I also don’t know the exact dimensions of this dial. gatorcpa
Mike / @MSNWatch would be the best to comment on this. About 3 or 4 years ago, there were 29mm Pie Pan dials available and floating around on eBay. The problem is a 14.9xx or a 16x.005 case requires a 27mm dial. Find out the exact size before agreeing to anything, and make sure you can return it if it doesn't fit.
@ulackfocus thank you so much on the info, I will get to my watchmaker and confirm on the diameter of the dial. If I may ask, do a 27mm pie pan dial in usable condition come up often? it seems rare on ebay and I don't really know of any other sources.
No, and when they do they don't last long. There's a Pie Pan Hoover about an hour north of me who sucks them all up the second they get listed.
Haha bad news for people like me who really needs it now. ..however I can understand these actions as I have been looking and searching for one in a year...
