·I like it, but sorry, I have no clue whether it should or should not have a minute track.

·Doesn't leave me with a good feeling. The Turler name doesn't mean anything in terms of value...maybe even a negative. The missing minute markers don't (literally) add anything to the watch's face and appeal. If you can, I'd say move on.

With all due respect John I disagree. Perhaps for a layman that might be true but only until they google it and see it's a legit double branded watch. Practically every collector I've come across would prefer a watch with rather than without.

·I also like the watch very much but i do not know if it should have markers or not. Maybe you will receive a better reply soon. Regards.

·I’d vote redial. “Automatic” is all over the place as far as spacing and letter size, same with the umlauts on the U in Turler. But hey, I’ve been wrong before on dial originality.

I partially agree. I think there are retailers whose name might give a bump...Tiffany, Serpico Y Laino, as examples. And I've paid extra for a watch with a Serpico Y Laino dial. But seeing the name Tiffany...or Turler...doesn't do it for me. And that's just me. Al of us have our own preferences.

It's obviously fine to have personal preferences, but given that Türler can be traced as far back as 1883, and to Biel, home of the current Omega factory and museum, and that they have sold (and still sell) higher-end Swiss watches in Zurich and elsewhere in Switzerland for such a long period of time, one would be hard-pressed to find many collectors who might have a negative reaction to the association.
Serpico Y Laino was founded in Venezuela ~50 years after Türler, though I suppose that some might prefer the relative exclusivity of the much smaller number of vintage watches that bear its name. I own a very nice Eterna that was originally sold through Le Trianos, a mid-century store in Havana, Cuba, and do appreciate that there are exceedingly few such watches that appear on the market.

·I vote for the redial.😀
In my opinion, if the dial was special type such as the linen or ribbon type, then it can come without the minute markers.

Or with. (forgive the scratched and blurred acrylic as it just arrived from the tropics) 😀
