Opinions please. And - yes I have noticed the number eleven index being loose. I have not seen this kind of dial before - have you?

 

I have seen that before. Tried to buy it (from Australia) but came up as a runner up.

The one in your post looks like a redial.

 

The dial is refinished.

I can't say I recall seeing this type of step dial on an Omega before, but does not mean it does not exist. I believe the arrowhead indices are more often seen on constellation dial, but I have also seen Seamaster examples.

 

I've see this type of dial on a 352 Constellation. And also, arrowheads on Sm's are pretty uncommon.

 

The same seller has a very nice Tg 195 for sale too



And a "Ranchero"

 

Here is the auction link to the watch from the OP.

I think it's a newly made counterfeit dial or at least a refinished franken dial. It certainly doesn't match the condition of the rest of the watch.

Just doesn't add up for me.

The Ranchero I would leave to someone else, but the TG195....

 

Not too impressed by the reluming of the Tg195.

 

The OP dial is definately not original. Can just tell by the font balance.

No - it is not that auction. Otherwise I have to agree with you. It looks fishy (both of them) and things just do not add up. The one in "my" auction has a case that could be interesting but the dial I would steer away from.

Here is the link to the auction I saw and got me to post:

I think the dial still looks fishy, looks like a great combo, but something still smells off with those fonts. Maybe see if anyone has an original dial version, I sure a member had one similar? also the same hooded lugs case shape..

 

Must be the understatement of the week.

It's the ugliest dial job I've seen on a Tg

 

I like that one even less. I think even the case on that one if a fake, the crown certainly is.

The fact that that dial has shown up on two completely different watches makes me even more suspicious.

I think the watch in your listing is trying to emulate a ref 14363, cal 500/501.

I think both dials are counterfeit.

 

Don't like the Ranchero's dial.
"R" looks wrong.
Everyone I have ever seen has "Swiss Made" under 6.
Lume plots look shiny, shouldn't.
Hard to tell but dial looks glossy, should be sandy matte.
Movement and case are correct and serial within
Ranchero production range.
No serifs on fonts. Numbers look too embossed.
Hands are wrong.
