Are they really that bad? I can understand if a 40-50yr old watch needs some kind of refinishment, or am I wrong?
Many watches posted in this thread are more than 50 years old but they are all original and not refinished. Have a look. http://omegaforums.net/threads/wruw-today.567/page-149
The thing is Omega made millions of them originally, so while many have been refinished, there are heaps that have been well kept and are original. There are hundreds of watches 50 years and over on this website that look very clean or even mint condition, and you deserve that when you're spending your money rather than a lemon that's been polished up for sale.
You can make up your own mind about how bad they are (or not). But the very concrete consequence of a redial is a big drop in the value of the watch should you ever decide to sell it.
Hmm.. maybe something like this? http://www.ebay.nl/itm/ws/eBayISAPI...&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNA:NL:1123#ht_1401wt_1198Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
