Smell fake IMO... Not sure if it is a distortion of the picture angle, but some of minute markers are not aligned to the hours applied markers... At 4 and 5 for example.
It might be refinished. Not typical of the period, that's for sure.
Mine to contrast. Note "Seamaster" was printed after the rest of the dial, that's why it's wonky. My watchmaker agrees with me, it is not refinished.
I've been coming to believe that this misalignment is less of an indicator than we think. I have a Lemania dial (Lemania was in the same comglomerate as Omega in the 50s and likely used the same dial maker) that my watchmaker tells me is original that is horribly aligned.
The huge difference: yours doesn’t have a sunburst finish. 50s case plus sunburst dial… my vote is with @ConElPueblo here.
@ConElPueblo: Is the seconds hand correct ??? What do you think?
Not sure, but then I have never studied hands that thoroughly. I would have expected to see a hand without facets just like the one on @SkunkPrince's example.
Edit: never mind, looked a bit more closely on the first photo. Definitely not correct.
My hands are (OEM Omega) replacements, so I would use caution when asccribing originality to them.
Oh, certainly. The correct type would be more accurate.
