·Hi!
New to the forum, omega and the rabbit hole that is redials..
I just got a Seamaster 166.002 in (cal 562).
The dial looked ok to me apart from looking very clean. On close examining of the Seamaster logo and studying at a large number of dials of the same model I the font is off.
The shape and position of the S but also the other writing is subtly different, e.g. the r is narrower on the original.
Out of all the images I came across 2 instances with the exact font as mine but wonder if those could be redials as well.
Seller says that the back of the dial is stamped with Omega and serial number and should be genuine.
Am I looking at a redial or simply a genuine dial which was less produced by Omega? What do you think?
1st photo is the watch in question
2nd same model as original reference (I think)
Below are the two I found that are similar to mine, so also redials, or perhaps genuine?
Thanks for your input!
