The keystone dial from Sweden:


The small arrowheads. 2852-15SC

The large arrowheads on a redial. 2852-53 SC


and just incoming - a steel arrowhead in somewhat beat-up shape, heading for the watchmaker today! 2852-7


That last one is exactly what I'm looking for 🥰

Why do you call it redial?

Because the seller said so. The print is the best I have ever seen on a redial, it is indistinguishable from the original. There are two giveaways: the base paint has a finely structured texture you don’t see in originals, and the Omega applied logo was bent in the process, the A is pointing a little upwards.

As is often the case, I visited OF upon waking and reaching for the iPad, and came across this most beautiful, classic and oh so depressing thread. I’ve 3 Seamasters, a Speedmaster, and....no Connie. Keep rubbing in the salt, people.

You're more likely to afford a Constellation than I am to afford a Speedmaster! Feel any better...?

If you want a “Connie”, look to the later 60’s... I got my ‘69 for $400 (then a $200 service). If you want one of these, then I’m with you in the bleachers.

Better? No. Just a tad guilty! I’m the second owner, but the Speedy completely decimated my watch fund.
For now. 😜

It's like some of them were bought new and were left in a safe for 60 years... Truly amazing pieces. But I like the 2852's that had a life as well! Grand old lady! Keep them coming!

If that’s a redial it’s a good one! You sure?

Edit: Sorry already been asked, didn’t read to the end before posting. I am still not convinced it’s a redial though!,
