Good evening everyone!!!!
Looking for an speedy premoon I found one in more or less good condition last week .
But my question is if somebody can confirm that is re lume dial.
With the pass of the years I’m loosing sight but if I make big photographs apparently is badly damaged for a very bad re lume.
If you could help me I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in Advance!!!
Cheers

It sure looks like a poorly relumed dial to me. A macro shot should be able to confirm, all pics are at an angle.

Can't tell from these photos whether that's fungus on the indices or just a poor job of reluming, but either way I don't find the dial attractive. If it were me, I think that I'd move on and keep looking for a better example. Your mileage may differ.

Pictures are poor but I would say it looks original.
The discoloration and flaking seen on the 6 & 8 o'clock plots is typical on these 145.012-67.
It has been serviced by Omega sometime in the late 70's or early 80's as evident by the service crown, service pushers, and service hands.

Personally I think it's original but in marginal condition and flaking. As mentioned, there are service parts, in case that bothers you.

relume or not (and i think it's relume), there are more attractive watches floating around anyway.
the dial is not very pretty, the chrono hand had to be serviced, and the lugs were too polished for my taste.
even if the bezel is pretty, in your place I would continue to search

The lume looks damaged, but I have no reason to assume it's not original. Do you have a UV shot?

Looks original to me, though crappy, as others have pointed out...

Hard to say from the pictures...
If I had to put my 2 cents, I'd say original lume.
At 8 it seems to have detached, also at 6. It would be strange for a watchmaker to have done this voluntarily.

Looks original to me. i agree with the service in the late 70s or so.

Would say a delumed dial ( lost lune) but not relumed, all good only your taste to take it or not

Here is my 145.012 dial for comparison:

It has some lume-loss here and there, and the lume is a bit shrunken and generally smaller than the indice underneath. The lume in your pictures look a bit different, but I dont know if this means something or is just variances between dials.

My guess is that in reality, this lume looks better than the photos show. Probably scratches on the crystal and blurry photos give that effect.
What do you guys think about the bezel and bezel insert? Numbers on the insert are very close to the outer edge (for example "80") and it's probably because the edge of the bezel is wider than usual. Is it original and normal for Pre-Moon?

Maybe, but I’m really confused!!!
It’s not a cheap watch to me.
Thank you so much Mate!!
