These have never been a watch I was never drawn to but you may be converting me ... was that a meteorite dial I saw up there?

This one:
That’s a linen dial

I have a long memory when it comes to Omegas, and must say I've never seen a dial quite like this, ever. Truly amazing, Thomas. I thought I'd seen 'em all!

Another one to add to my list 😉 . . .

Thanks, think it is correct, but only found very few similar dials, it has age and spiderweb cracks, hardly visible 😀

Wow, looks like a totally different dial, I guess that’s what threw me. Well, double nice then.

I kick myself for selling this one



Somehow told myself one grey dial C was enough . . .



Kept this for the spider web

The spiderwebbing is on the dial and not the crystal? What causes that?

I can't speak directly for this watch but it's the materials used: the paints and lacquers. Spidering is usually the lacquer cracking due to heat and possibly light exposure.

Greetings all,

Long time lurker, just getting back into things. The C-Case is my favorite Omega, and I wanted to add another one to the collection.

Sorry this is my first post.

Scouring Ebay on my phone, and I found the below from Closer.

I was a little trigger happy, and when I looked at the pics on my desktop now I noticed the text didn't pass the MOY test. What do you guys think? Is this a redial?

I think everything else looks pretty good, but I not too well versed on these things.

If a redial, I am going to contact the seller.

If I posted this in the wrong area, I can remove it and post in the correct area.

Thank you for your thoughts on this.

It's really best to start a new thread in this forum to ask for a critique of a piece. Don't be shy of starting a thread. It doesn't coat anything and nobody will mind. There is something about the lettering under OMEGA that doesn't look right. I would like a straight on shot or the hands out of the way. I know this seller will give you a straight answer if you ask a direct question.

Post a query thread.

Thank you, it’s gold capped, the reference is the regular 168.027. I’ll also note that mine is the only one in rose gold that I’ve ever seen for sale since I got it in 2015 😁

Coincidentally this is all I’ve been wearing every day for the past few weeks:
