    In a different thread I raised a question which might has gone unnoticed, but which could be however relevant when assessing parts which do not fit into the common knowledge.
    For the convenience of the participants, I copy the key points below, hoping that someone might be able to chime in with the correct answer. ;)


    No, it is not a case of mislabeling: no Professional inscription and narrow TTs.
    As I wrote before, since we are discussing dials it is worth paying a closer attention to what is going on in the market...

    All this was in the other thread. Are you saying it is a fake?

    could be a redial, the Speedmaster script looks odd to me comparing to mine.

    No, basically it seems an Omega item. However, are we sure it is completely unmolested? :cool:

    Dunno if its just the lighting, but that applied logo dont look silver to me...more like gold...

    Also the T's are quite closer together (but maybe thats the 'narrow space' dial, dont have MWO at hand)...

    Well, you are pointing in the right direction.
    In order to make thing easier, have a look at an original 105.003 dial:

    Is it a service dial with an applied metal Omega symbol over the painted one?

    Hmmm...font and alignment of the 'T Swiss Made T', as well as the width of the T's is different...but that was yonks ago, before quality control and the like!

    I am afraid it is not.
    Again, I am afraid that this is not the case.

    The center hole (don't know the technical nomenclature for this) and the subdial holes are showing metal around the inside perimeter on the original dial, on the other showing black.

    This is only due to the fact that, after cleaning, the base plate has lost the black paint around the circumference but this circumstance is not particularly meaningful.

    A lot of touch up all over the dial's front surface and a couple of anomalies on the back. Most noticeable is this is an unusual non-step narrow Ts dial. Still not cheap though ;)

    As always, there is a price point at which counterfeiting becomes convenient. ::stirthepot::

    It's not the same as the modern service dial and I don't think the Ts were added. Compared to below, the E, S, p and r are different; and SWISS is shifted right by about 1/10 sec. The S in particular is of the vintage style, like the original above.
