Hi All, new here and glad to be here - I have vintage experience on the Rolex forums - and know my vintage Rolex dials pretty well - far less with Omega. I just recd this 38mm rosegold beauty from a fellow forum member and have a brief return privelege. I am taking to my watchmaker today for his opinions, but really need and will really appreciate yours on the dial. OK or refinished? Thank you for your help! Russ in Dallas
Me too. That said, I don't get hung up on redials as much as a lot of other people as long as they are done right and only done to dials which are beyond saving. I had my pie pan done as it was in a crap state (and dirt cheap) when I bought it and I love it. It is probably one of the best redials I've ever seen mind you. If you like the watch and got it at a decent price then wear it in good health. Obviously, if you asked him whether it was a redial and he said no and that's a deal breaker for you then ship it back.
I don't know as much as a lot of people here, but it looks a lot like mine. I took mine in and the repairer took the discolored lacquer off and that is what it looked like underneath when he was finished. http://omegaforums.net/threads/fixed-or-ruined.11865/#post-150963
