    Picked up a few dials from a retired watchmaker recently. 2 Constellation dials and one Seamaster.

    The Arrowhead constellation dial I'm assuming goes on a cal 562 or 565.

    The other constellation came in a bag marked Cal 561, not 100% if this is correct.

    Now the Seamaster dial has me stumped, I can't find any similiar dials in A Journey Through Time. Also both the Seamaster and Arabic numeral Constellation dials have notches between 4-5 and 10-11 o'clock as well as a small notch at 3oclock.

    If anyone can shed some light on these dials, it would be much appreciated.

    This one looks to fit a cal. 551 movement. Never seen one like it before, but has right fonts and passes MOY test.

    Would like to see if it fits a Ref. 167.005 case.

    ‘Fully-arabic’ dials are not common - bit of a British thing by all accounts.

    But never seen a fully-Arabic pie-pan, only dome dials.
    The fonts do look correct but I’d question some of the hour markers and finish on the facets.

    The Seamaster dial comes, if I remember correct from a 165.002.
    I must have pics somewhere, I think I posted a picture in WRUW a long time ago.

    The oil paint effect is probably from my phone camera.

    I'll try to take better photos tonight with my wife's phone

    I would like to see the underside of the dial for a maker's mark. My gut feeling is that this dial was made for Omega strictly as an optional replacement dial.

    That example was made for UK market. The numerals on the dial above are a little different.

    The rear is shown above
    There’s not a lot on the back of the dial

    As @Peemacgee mentioned. Nothing on the caseback beside the number 19.

    Maybe it's an effect of the shot angle? The dial is slanting slightly since it's sitting on the dial feet
