I can count 10+ small flakes, but 100% an original dial
Yes, sometimes very professionally refinished, and around 25% of the watches in the market are refinished, ones from Japan are usually hard to tell
There could be a tell but I didn't study edges closely, maybe the 3 edges need to meet at the lugs - I doubt it though, since these are assumably hand refinished as well out of the case factory?

Seemed like a good deal to me, better than buying a new watch - serviced by Omega and new strap
Is the seller an estate agent? The write up of this watch is vomit inducing 馃ぎ
Recently back from service. Replaced the rotor axle and bushing, mainspring, and case back gasket. Added two links to the bracelet (sourced form here) and now ready to wear.
Now to hunt for a gray dial...
I鈥檓 new to c case Connie鈥檚, but have fallen down a serious rabbit hole! Is that a white dial or just the light?

I think it鈥檚 a silver sunburst, but it often appears as white. I鈥檓 on travel at the moment and have been wearing it all week.
Easier if you look for a 1040 in rough shape without endlinks, to buy just for the extra links
Closer鈥檚 watches are always nice, but there鈥檚 a hidden hierarchy - and he gets watches that has at least one issue, for a while dynamics shifted and he was getting flawless watches during pandemy
I鈥檇 suggest going for a flawless dial and maybe small case issues, you get the case scuffed anyway

I found he鈥檚 prompt at offering a refund if you find a problem with it.
