    Not Omega, but the best redials I've had the privilege to see (and pay for :p).

    Yes, if they remove the T's properly, we would have not known they are redials

    When you consider the cost of Hoi's Vietnamese redialler vs. JLC's factory job, you realize how good the Vietnam guy really is.

    For my edification, how can you spot that this is a redial? The only sign I see is the T preceding the "Swiss Made" even though the hour markers are clearly un-lumed. And should the frame around the date window be beveled?

    Scary good. Maybe the S in Seamater is an older style, good only for a 50's dial?.

    The SWISS MADE is too wide apart for that style dial, and the Ω symbol's feet are just a bit too close together I think. Other than that, it's a friggin' awesome job!

    Hoi, how are you're contacts at doing a Genève?

    This:

    needs to look like this:

    The older Seamaster script with the S in coat hanger shape was used and ended BEFORE Omega use Tritium on the dial, those 2 T's don't ,match with the Script.
    It should look like this to be correct


    [​IMG]

    To make it worse, somebody has cleaned off the black stuff on the markers and turn them into plain makers with lume dots only

    [​IMG]

    They looked like this before, I guess.


    Dennis.

    I am not sure, Geneve is not the model that people over there carazy about. I will check and see if there is any thing look nice.
