    Hello all,

    I have a question about an Omega watch with the cal.266 that is for sale. Is this dial retouched or replaced?

    Thank you @No Mercy I tried it with my phone but clearly it didn't work out well.

    IMHO this dial is original, but better to tell if there are more photos about the case back & movement.

    Looks to be an old redial. Luminous in the indexes don't look to clean (meaning I see some chipping and unevenly applied)

    Also. Minute marks on right side further in than left side

    The applied logo appears crowded. Looks like the "e" in "Omega" is trying to get inside the applied logo.

    Thanks guys! The logo and 'Omega' is what was worrying me, they are really close together.

    Several issues, but we would need a better pic to be sure.

    The "Swiss made" looks OK. The minutes marks look OK too - as far as I can tell with that pic. But as said above the hours marks look odd - but could be the pic. And the Omega script looks too close to the applied logo - but original old dials can sometimes have this issue.

    My conclusion: we need a better picture!
