    Hi, i hope everyone is being safe. I have a concern and would really appreciate it if you could share your expertise on this subject. I’m looking at purchasing this Omega Geneve watch with a caliber 1030 and on the dial it has the T SWISS MADE T marking. I wonder if this is a rare dial variation or a fake one. I see a lot of this model with just the SWISS MADE marking.

    thank you!

    What is with the picture quality? Looks like a painting rather than a photo

    It's a poor picture to give a statement on, but it looks like a redial.

    Stay safe as well.

    I don't see anything to be concerned about. It is in good condition, as are a lot of Omegas of this era, as they had to compete with watches with quartz technology which got cheaper and cheaper while being more in vogue. They come both with and without Ts.

    They are very plentiful, and not too many years ago, this was a 2500NOK watch.

    If the dial says "t swiss made t" then there should be tritium lume markers at the hour points and on the hands. This is the case for your watch so all is in order there! :thumbsup: I dont know if it has been relumed or not?

    A number of 70s and forward Omegas have lume, but no Ts. There was a discussion on the subject here some while ago, but I don't think a conclusion was reached as to why…

    But would you say that this can still be the original dial?
