Hey guys,

Need your help. I'm on the lookout for this model for quite a while. But I'm a bit confused about this dial. In the first place I never saw the 3 and 9 art deco-ish numerals. I like them. But the omega text is a bit wobbly (how in the hell do you write this?). Not sure about the subdial either. I'm leaning to original but what do you think? Thnx OF!

I vote for redial.

Not sure concerning the markers at 3 and 9. I think I have seen this design before.

Markers are aligned correctly, but the printing looks off standard.

That was my thoughts too, Swiss made also looks well balanced as do the sub dial markers, but I would be interested to hear other opinions.

I vote redial. The edges of the figures which are part of the dial surface and not applied on these dials are soft, indicating they were polished during a refinishing.

You are truly an eagleeye, here. I love almost all of your posts.

That's a very impressive observation. I think you're right

Funny. Those 2505's are quite difficult to determine. Lots of redials

Definitely a redial, ‘OMEGA’ isn’t horizontally aligned correctly, it’s slightly too far to the right.

We have a winner - good pickup and something more to add to the knowledge bank, thank you.

I say redial, never saw original subdial markers as detached from edge as these.
