As another user has already mentioned, look at the "2" characters. They are clearly quite different. In addition, the texture and color of this dial is much darker than the usual matte coloration we're used to seeing on this reference.
So wierd the 2's look just like every other example...
the 2's on omegarolex's dial look completely different than
(look at the space between the bottom horizontal line of the 2
and the vertical part of the 2. It looks like a wedge on normal Grail dial,
on Op's it's a flat space)
what you see on the Grail dials.
I just spent half hour looking through
Google images and I can't find even one
that looks like the OP's 2's.
Just picked up this thread sorry for my dilatory response ...I may be able to shed some light on this grail concentric circle dilemma
There are 2 Dial manufactures
The first made by Singers is the original and concentric circle version D1
The second stamped SJ is the best service replacement dial D2 which is identical to D1 save and except IT DOES NOT HAVE CONCENTRIC CIRCLES
so Mr omegarolex you have 4 service dials with no circles and are correct ,given the watches you own ,but Foo2rama is referencing the original
376.0822 and as such he is correct also ,unfortunately neither of you were fully informed of the variations
Almost correct ....there are 4 dials! The fourth is the disastrous missing 10 dial !
This is best exemplified by looking at the journey through time page 621 top left of the page
This is a service dial which was basically a mark 4.5 repurposed it’s horrendous
There is no 10 at the 10 minute position and the day date white margin is incomplete at the 3 o’clock position plus lume loss and there is almost always gapping between the minute track on the dial and that attached to the crystal
I am doing a small research booklet as a the collectors guide to this model and it will be free on the net
This is one of the most misguided mischaracterised and pourly reasearched iteration in the entire line up of
speedmasters in my humble opinion and based on extensive research the MWO ,THE MASTER OF OMEGA , AND THE JTT ALL GOT THE WATCH
Even Fratello who used the Grail as a mast head a few years ago had a none original watch with wrong hands
Ok well ,the one that odd boy has very kindly posted is a late omega service/replacement dial which has light white thin lume wedge 2 and No concentric circle [if it’s the conventional modern version made by SJSwiss nl] and is the second of my photos
The second service /replacement dial is the one exhibited on the tea towel by Omega Rolex which has concentric but no wedge 2
the original has concentrics and a wedge 2 and a heavy over lume Carmel colour and is is made by singers and is the first of my photos
It’s very difficult on a low resolution photo to distinguish the modern replacement but it’s crisp thin low load white lume is the clue
On high resolution you see no circles on the sub dials
The feet are 4 mm and the diameter of the feet are 0.8 mm they are thus not interchangeable with other speedy calibers also the dial is marginally smaller in diameter
We are of course ignoring some redial that I have seen but they are mostly Type D1 with lume corrections
One final vital point ...all the service dials I have seen are coal Black Matt with crisp white writing .....originals are lighter and gray ...very noticable when posted side by side
Hence my earlier observation on another forum thread of the rareness of total original models and I believe Oddboy has an excellent reference prototype very authentic and externally looking totally correct which subject to his permission should be used as a comparative
