I recently acquired the vintage Seamaster and everything looks great except i'm no sure if the dial is original. I cannot find another example with this dial configuration. Help!

Is this a real Omega dial? (SWISS MADE @ 6)

Another picture

 

Looks like a 14755 dial.

 

Definitely looks fake to me, and a bad one at that

 

The markers are not long enough for 14755 dial.

 

Does the 14755 on the page below have a fake dial too?

 

Omega logo and fonts are all wrong.

*EDIT* found this discussion after my post.

Probably wrong for the period, but this is from AJTT so I'd like to think it's a service dial rather than fake, unless it's proven to be a fake.

 

This logo and font type were introduced with the 165.024 so this dial could also be a transitional for the 14755. Just my guess of another possibility, unless someone provides a more reliable source to say otherwise.

 

TNT, my mistake. Thx for posting image.

 

Fake Dial
Look at triangle plots
They are not centered. Not Omega quality at all.
The printing(12,3,6,9, and Omega) is completely unlike anything similar
of the period. But is like current fake Ranchero dials.
Not like Railmaster, not like Ranchero
not like Seamaster 300's.
And the fonts in the bezel is not one I've ever seen.
Too large

 

Is this your opinion or you have a source that says it's a fake dial? The camera's angle made it look off centered. The quality and everything else looks the same as the dial shown on the above page from Omega - A Journey Through Time and I have not found anyone saying it's a fake yet. It also appears on a few other SM300s, but inconclusive though.

The bezel is the same as type D on this page: http://thatwatchandmore.blogspot.ca/2013/03/buying-vintage-omega-seamaster-300.html

 

Of course it's my opinion.
The markers are crooked. Whitespace is whitespace, angle doesn't change that
The bezel is not the same as the review you referenced.
Look at the top of the5 and look at the top of the 3
Not the same

 

I do not see any crooked markers. Can you point them out? If you meant those at 4,5,6 and 7 then they are reflections/distortions by the edge of the crystal. I also see the font type as exactly the same as the one in the book.

I do not see any difference between the 5s and 3s on the bezels either. In fact I see the OP's bezel as exactly the same as all the Watchco bezels. If this one is fake then all the Watchcos are fake too.

 

When I say "crooked", I mean the marker is NOT lined up between the hashes,
it's off center. 7,8,9,10,12
The bezel fonts are not the same as any you referenced on that review of the 300.
Just look at the loops in the 3. Not the same.
And I never said it was Fake. I said it did not match any of the variants on that page.

 

I see what you mean. I still think those markers are not that off centered between the minute hashes since they are quite thick above the dial's surface and we're looking at an angle. The one at 12 may be because of the ageing lume changing its shape. Of course, it could very well be a fake or a redial if we could have a better look of its front and back.

Regarding the bezel, I now also see what you mean about the loops. I've just looked around and found at least 2 other SM300 with the same things, one of which originated from Neil @flame (pictured on the first 2 links). It looks like there's another valid variance of these bezels.

Ok one more comment then I'll leave this alone.
I'm not convincing you it seems.
Take the page you just sent me to.

If it's the thick crystal or the angle distorting, then some of these dial markers
should look off center to the hashes. But they don't...
and that Big triangle is awful fresh looking compared to the rest of the
watch. Milky white. Just sayin

 

I've already admitted the possibility of fake or redial, I'm just not so sure. That watch was from Neil, he also posted it here on OF and it does show the marker at 9 as off centered in the picture below. It also has those pin holes and doesn't look too fresh in other pictures (though uneven). http://omegaforums.net/threads/omeg...-a-new-cat-in-omegaforum-town-from-1968.2821/


I don't know how thick the hour markers are on other dials, but on the OP's dial type, they are quite thick they even cast shadows on the dial surface as shown below:
