Strange 2914 Railmaster with T swiss made T dial

Hi,

Has anyone ever seen a 2914 Railmaster with a "T swiss made T" dial, like this one ?

The dials seems OK to me, but it's the first time I see this feature....



Some time ago, someone on the forum has wondered about this dial, with what looks like an added "T" on the right side only....


In addition, the hands also look different: on the watch at the top, the hours and minute hands look very thin...

Any opinion ?

Honestly, the rest of the dial in question looks OK to me. But a better picture would help.

On your dial, it is quite obvious that the "T" was added, as the paint has a whiter color than the rest of the text.

It makes sense on an early 1960's watch, when radium was replaced by tritium on watch dials. But as always, Omega - like Rolex - probably didn't want to throw the existing dials at the garbage...

OK just found the same feature on a 1963 Railmaster / Seamaster ref. 135004 !


T swiss made T:



So this feature *may* be correct for a 1963 135004, not a 2914

I can't offer any evidence one way or another on this but i'd just like to point out the spacing on the T's (of the T Swiss T dial) is very slightly off. It's most noticeable if you extend down from the minute markers. To my mind, that alone points to the T's being added ... whether in factory or if the dial's were refinished as with the 2777-1, I cannot help.

I would assume the T or T's were added later
