    Is this a redial? The "Seamaster" looks crooked to me, but of course, it could be my imagination. How does this look? Stay away or maybe buy?

    The Seamaster looked crooked to me too. Also the Omega and the symbol. I put a straight edge on the screen, and I thing that the image is slightly skewed. Just my opinion though.

    I turned the picture 1.25 degrees and it looks straighter, but that Seamaster still appears to be slightly off. Would love an expert opinion.

    I would really appreciate some comments from the veterans on this. It's with my budget but I can't consider it without knowing what it really is.

    Look at this picture $_57.JPG It looks a little to the right when you look at the date window . Looks as the movement isn't centered in the case . If you look here where the black is the stem isn't in the middle . Easy fix if you loose the screws where the red is and centers the dial and movement .

    That dial looks fine to me. I think it's an optical illusion that the text appears bias to one side. Look at the Rolex Air-King dial on the 5500s and you'll see a similar thing because the text is heavy to the left. They all look skewed even though their straight as an arrow

    Looks ok to me. Relatively decent price I think too.
