    Hi senior member here on the forums. Mind telling us a little more about the dial? What do you know about it already?

    Well not a huge amount from the photos but here is what I think - all subject to change, were I to hold it in hand:

    The dial does not show evidence of repainting - does not mean it is not, but I cannot see it. I am referring to the black body.
    I think I can see concentric circle in the subdials, not a definitive point, but if they are NOT there then its bad sign.

    The printing appears crisp and as original, Especially the minute track and the T SWISS MADE T. On a redials this is where we see wobbles.
    The back of the dial is white, where I would like to see a copper colour, but believe it or not I dont have enough experience to pronounce based on the back view alone.
    The back of the dial is printed or stamped singer - so it is not a non original plate.

    The lume is probably added, Which means it may be possible to strip it and put it back properly. It would always be a re lume.

    Dial has a step. So for a risk taker its worth a punt to buy, see if the lume can be stripped and re laid.

    That said, my friend @oddboy hit the value on the nail.

    I reiterate, all my observations are based on cursory examination of the photos. For a $20 dial thats all I need to do until it lands on my desk.

    I don't know why but I do not like the Omega logo... It looks really "thick" but it's maybe the quality of the picture...

    Sorry guys not made the post clear enough it’s a original step dial do you remember the one I fell with and damaged well it was just too far gone to use a lot of the writing had been damaged

    So I ended up getting it redone but while it was away I managed to find a nice step dial so it’s spare

    Just wondered if it was worth something

    Well... Don't see why anything would change... You had the print redone. It is a redial. Consensus seems to be that you just nuked the value...

    Editing to add: Here is the dial pre-redial, correct?

    no it was worse that that in the end

    the dial had alot of dirt and debris on it from the fall I used a very fine paint brush to brush it off and a few more pieces came off

    I then sent it off to see if anything could be done and and add the T SWISS MADE T and while in transit some more loose pieces came off all from the left hand side part of the O and part of the logo part of the S and some of the professional
