·The purpose of your post is unclear. Do you want us to assess the watch, or just sharing. If you want the former read on, otherwise I do think it looks nice and will be good to go once you find a bezel.
I have never seen a dial from that era that is so bright white. Comparing to this example, I believe the e's in Seamaster are incorrect.

I am far from an expert, but I say redails. The second hand is also incorrect.

·I agree with wagudc, swiss made is not central to the six marker. If it is a redial, it is otherwise pretty well done. On closer inspection the serifs in automatic are missing as well.

·Whatever the dial is, it is nice to wear. The bezel: quite a challenge. I think, either send the case only to the factory or find a good machinist shop in your area, who can make one for you. If they pull that off, make 2 or 3 and sell the others.... Kind regards. Achim

·I got one from Omega in the 90s. Had to send the watch in.
I think that has a service dial.

·Just checked my orignal dial 2627 from '55ish and it also had "SWISS MADE" with that exact spacing and offset. So again, I vote service dial.

·Not an expert but I'm inclined to agree with both dial feedbacks, either redial or service dial. It does look nice I must say, except I really don't like the red second hand, it doesn't fit the style of the watch.
Wear it with good health!

·In my opinion it´s a service dial. Here is a comparison with my photo of a 2627-10 and OP,s. It all looks correct.

·Yes it all looks the same. Service dial means the original dial was replaced with new one by omega . Is that right? I learn a lot here . What about the bezel. Is the case 2757 same as 2627 ? I know the lug is difference.

·Hi guys, not too long ago, i got myself a 2627 -7 and it has puzzled me a bit.
A bit of unknown territory to me, as i am not entirely familiar with the 2627 iterations (ie: trapezoid vs square date window, dial and hands variants), so i was hoping maybe the best Seamaster scholars may see this and chime in to better understand what this is. I suspect its a refinished dial, and would not be disappointed if found so.
So my curiosity with the watch, and especially the dial is:
- My dial is missing the "CALENDAR" above date window (while i understand the trapezoidal came after the square one, i would expect < maybe > a Seamaster only dial for the early variant).
- Narrow "S" and first "e" tied to "S", stylized "m" in "Seamaster".
- I cannot determine if the metal indexes and hands started life as gilt (yellow) or silver. It is just too much oxidation going on under the crystal to make myself an idea.
- SWISS < only > at 6.
- I was expecting a bowler hat crown but saw at least a handful with decagon crown as well, and plenty more with the clover.
Chances are it is the original fitting and I really do not mind keeping the decagon but its not an easy winder.
If i were to replace mine with the bowler, can someone advise what is the correct size for the 2627 ? The slot is 5 mm but looking at various pictures, on occasion, that the crown teeth goes over the crown slot.
So checking out the OF for the 2627 i came across this thread. I believe the OP's dial has similar dial furniture to mine although mine has a silver sunburst finishing while the OP looks rather white matte and has better details than what mine. I tend to believe the OPs dial is legit while mine not.
Thanks for checking!

·In general, we believe SWISS vs SWISS MADE denotes a US Collection watch, which would likely have 11/16" between the lugs instead of 18mm.
I think your dial might be a service dial... or it might be refinished. I don't see anything conclusive either way. Next time you have that watch serviced, perhaps ask your watchmaker if there is any evidence on the back side that it was refinished. I have seen some mention that, if it is, it will have some sort of notch on the edge used for registration purposes.
