    Dear team,
    I'm not sure for the non-polished pie pan facets dial on this watch, is it ever been report in case 2699 SC? Together with the " OM SWISS MADE OM", what does it mean?

    Thank you very much indeed

    Thank you @cristos71. At the first time to review, I just thought it came from " Or Massif ".

    OM does mean Or Massif, gold dial. In this case though, you can see the OM has been added later. It is in a different font and size. Hence, the dial is a redial.

    Everything is repainted, look at the minute markers,

    So did it pass the MOY test in your eyes.

    Thank you every mentions, I just starting to collect the omega constellation. And no more experience, all of informations from everyone are important and value to me. According to attached below information,
    In case of 2699, not all dial were polished, some painted. So I am not sure what the kind of that painted. I apologize if my question is not make sense. @CanberraOmega @STANDY
    Thank you

    That's a repainted dial - granulated dial finish is incorrect and the minute markers don't line up perfectly. Case has also been polished quite substantially.

    Doesn't have to be game over: depends on intended use, but more so, the price. There is nothing inherently evil about a re-dial - could be a good daily wearer, donor watch, etc. as long as you know what you're getting, and don't pay the price the watch would be with the correct dial.

    Dare I venture that this is sensible advice - as you say, as long as the watch is what it is and not subject to a various "unknown unknowns" as Mr Rumsfeld might put it.

    Does anyone know when the 'Om Swiss Made Om' appeared on Omega watches. I'm looking for information about or massif Omega's (solid gold), but can't find any information. And I can't find a lot pictures on the forum with the 'OM' sign. Is there a reason for? Are they very rare?
