What concerns me is not the dipping "r" - that was normal on 50's Seamasters. The alignment of SWISS MADE is a problem in my eyes. The space between the words is dead on the 6:00 marker. Usually, the space is pushed a little to the 5:00 side because Omega aligned the whole phrase to the bottom of the dial, not the two separate words to the bottom marker.
That is going to keep me from bidding. It may turn out to be trivial, but I've NEVER seen a dial that I know to be original have that issue.
Yes the dial is attractive, but both of these issues are troubling
The coffin is a late 2648 with hippocampus. Are any of these others? My two are early smooth backs. I find the Swiss Made problematic in either event.
Youse guys are picking too many nits. Compare the dial with the Seamaster XVI dial that Scotty posted above. The Seamaster logo is the same and so is the positioning of Swiss Made. Those are acceptable variations of Seamaster dials, particularly those with coffin markers.
So while I believe that the dial is an Omega product, more information is required to determine if this Omega dial left the factory attached to this watch.

Gentlemen.
That Seamaster font is good. Have a look at this and compare
and that dial doesn't look like a service dial to me.
