Yes sir. Tanner Morehouse at TM Watch Co. is working his magic upon it now.

Not all ribbon dials are from 1961, but most of them are. Post some pics when you get it back!

Certainly will! 😀

Ribbon dials definitely are something special.

@gbesq what exactly is done to your watch? Is it a regular service or is there more to it?

Another of the most common of uncommon dial variations, although I think it only exists on American references.

I think that it’s not entirely true. Here’s a Golden Mercury De Ville made for the Italian market.

I have discovered so many things with this thread. Never seen these hour markers before. Is this an Italian case or a Swiss case for the Italian market? Definitely looks like a Swiss case from the look of the lugs. Funny it doesn't have "Seamaster" on the dial, and also automatic SMDVs usually have an applied Omega logo, this one hasn't. Very interesting piece, thanks for sharing!

I’m having a regular movement service done, but in addition to that Tanner will replate and relume the hands, install a new crystal and crown, and lightly refinish the case. He has done this for me before on another Seamaster and it came back looking like this:

You’re welcome👍 It’s an applied logo by the way, but on the photo it looks flat. I think it’s a Swiss golden case. Should check the hallmark👎

I mean the "OMEGA" logo. It's usually applied on automatic SMDVs, like mine above. 😀

Ah, I now see what you mean😀

I have already said it on the main post but thank you all for sharing these beauties. I had no idea I would discover so many new things upon creating this thread.

Finally, I found the same dial pattern.😲


Maybe @hoipolloi can shed some light on both dials.

Well done! This one has a cross made of darker squares, plus onyx markers!

 

[qazwsx1]

Also, I found this uncommon dial pattern too.
Pls name it.

It’s my talent to find the uncommon piece, even just the pictures. 🙄

Ha I've seen that one already! But I don't know how it's called.

Another uncommon dial that I would like to share.
I believe that it belongs to the collector in this forums.

I've never seen that one either.

@river9 recently shared another one that I had never seen before:



Incredible pattern from the 70's.

This is a moon dial I guess?
