Hoping to get better at this. Below is the dial from a reference 2505. I believe it to be a redial because:

The font of Omega, specifically the A, which has a pointed top here and, I believe, should have a squared off one

Other than that, I would be fooled into thinking this was original. Perhaps the length and application on the sub-dials? A little difficult for me to tell given lack of experience.

How would the experts rate this? Fake or not?

 

I’ll let you be the judge. A picture of my untouched original dial which seems to me to be virtually the same dial with rose gold markers.

 

Huh. I very likely may be wrong. I thought I read here somewhere that the top of the A should be chopped, but perhaps that is specific to a reference. Yours sure does look exactly like the other one..

 

As I stated, my dial is not identical to yours. But the OMEGA appears to be identical.

 

I think you need to spend a month or two here.

 

I would not class a redial as a fake.

 

Even if a redial not a fake. Big difference in what each term means.

 

A should be chopped in Swiss Made...

 

I don´t know who created the "rule" about the shape of the A - it is BS but has been repeated for decades...

If there is a flat top A or a pointed A often depends on the dial manufacturer and the different fonts they used.

This "A feature" does not give any proof if a dial is original or redone

 

+1. In my opinion, the dial on the subject watch has not been refinished.

 

+1 to a redial it's not a fake, but I will never buy a redial. for me it's better to have a few scratches than redial

 

OK, here is another one... I say 'fake', but then I am new here. My reasons are the irregular application of the minute markers. Anyone else agree?

 

The only thing that really jumps out at me is the crooked star. I don't know why you insist on calling this "fake". It's not fake.

 

Do you know the difference between a fake and a redial?

In this case it’s not an issue.

 

You appear to be 0-2. Perhaps a bit more study before your next thread.

 

I do know the difference, just need to get accustom the to the terminology. You are correct, and I asked the question wrongly. I should have said 'redial'.

Agreed I need more study. Damn difficult skill to master though. I thought I had that one.

 

Ah, one more question: this one caught my eye because it is on a BOR bracelet. Assuming the movement/reference check out (aka, not a 'fake'), is this model worth USD $1500?
