·...just wanted to verify with you all. A store is offering it to me at a sub 2k price. Even if a redial it's so tempting, but it runs and the movement is nice. But I know I may never wear it.
Think I'm getting better at checking redials, but...

··Melbourne AustraliaI'd say it's a redial.
Wonky 9, marker at 4, different gaps at 1 marker and 7 marker. Lot's of other little imperfections.

·Very hard to find a Cosmic that hasn't been redialed. Uneven printing on this one with the date ring is an absolute giveaway.

·The price would be 3x with an original dial.

··Ωf Jury memberIt's always useful to do a search for the type of watch, in this case OMEGA triple date moonphase, and look for a dial that is well-patinated, and appears to be original. Then, compare signatures. Here's a good example, with a link to more images below.

··not the sharpest pencil in the ΩF drawerThe dial posted by the OP has many flaws but the - literally - biggest give away is perhaps the texture of the white/grey of the dial

·It looks like a reference 2606, here's one with an original dial for comparison.

·Looks like a very obvious redial to me. Omega font is off, the overall finish is quite flat and the wrong tone, overall too bold.

·I was able to feel it was a redial by looking at the OMEGA font and the printing. However, I did learn that the texture of the dial/tone is also an indicator. I thought the finish wasn't too bad. But it is off from original examples. I did compare with pictures of original dials for the Omega Triple Calendar 2606, but the store price threw me off.
I don't particularly trust the store owner of this example, but his lack of knowledge has given me great deals on watches and pocket watches before. But no matter the price, a redial is a no go for me. Thanks again OF.
