Trying to find out if this is original or a redial?

Hi there! First post and so happy I discovered this forum. I purchased this Omega Geneve and some opinions that I have gotten from research and a friend looking at it are that it is a redial - can anyone confirm or offer any thoughts on its authenticity?
Thanks!

Hi, nice watch!
I'm not familiar with this reference but it doesn't look like a redial to me.
Case looks good also, movement is clean so no reason to worry IMO
Enjoy!

EDIT: Here another one for comparison:

I'd be happy with it, can't see any issues with the dial.

i've seen such kind of dial before. in fact, it was patterned after speedmaster dial indecis.

Very beautiful watch ! Congrats.

It鈥檚 very difficult at times to understand if they are redials or not, but the movement looks good and in line with the dial !


Question... from the two pictures posted here it seems like these dials have a tendency to have the lime flake off. Is this common for these watches?

What about the crosshairs? At 12 and 3 they don鈥檛 connect to the indices.
Lovely watch nonetheless馃憤

And look at the placement of the Omega Automatic text.
Compare it to the example below..

If this is a redial, I need to know who's the guy who did the relume, because IMO he must be the best one around to be able to fake crumbly vintage tritium.

This is just my opinion, but I really do not like the missing lume on the dial and the blackening of the lume on the hands. Also remember that all those bits of lume that have become displaced really only have one place to go and that's into the mechanism. If it was mine, I'd want some consistency with the dial and hands and either have the rest of the lume removed or get it sympathetically relumed.

Then again, that's just my opinion and if you are happy with the way it looks, then enjoy it. Still think it should be serviced and the remaining lume at least stabilised if practical (and not too expensive).

At 12 and 3 they don鈥檛 connect to the indices.

At the example I posted for comparison you have the same thing at 12 and 6, I don't think this is a proof for a redial

The watch in the OP is not a redial.

Slight loss of lume? Yes.

Redial? Categorically not.

I wasn鈥檛 saying it is a redial just that there is a noticeable bigger gap.
