    I asked an expert on vintage omegas, and he told me that Turler font at a different process and that the ink may have aged differently. My question is, is the TURLER stamp original and not repainted? received_689689722362828.jpeg received_240039658306148.jpeg

    I suspect the humidity that lightly corroded the dial may have caused the printing to deform. I can't really tell what's going on though, as the pictures are a bit fuzzy around the details. I assume this one was from Japan?

    Here's one of my Turler signatures for comparison:

    I think it may be a printing defect or aging symptom. I don't believe that anyone would bother adding a "Türler"...

    Maybe they thought it would add value. Lol

    To me it feels real and it’s aging or interaction with the screen print and the texture of the dial when made.

    an extract should be able to clear it up…

    I think - but am not 100% certain - that the best you'd hope for is a country of delivery which has a Türler outlet.


    I could be wrong, but it is not my feeling that inscriptions add more than a point of interest on most Omegas. I would imagine a "Tiffany's" would add some value?

    Well Germany would be assumed. Also I thought Turler purchased directly.

    A real Tiffany dial would definitely add some value to any Omega being retailed in the USA. Outside the USA, perhaps not as much. I have no idea how Turler is seen in their native Switzerland, but in North America, I think a Turler logo is really not moving the needle much, if at all, on an Omega.

    Depends on the model. I believe there is at least 2 verified Speedmaster professionals with it and it gets a bump.

    True, and I would say that Speedmasters inhabit a special place in the vintage Omega collection sphere with a fair share of rather wealthy enthusiasts having them as a focus of their collection and since the number of really collectible references is relatively small, even minor variations become desirable. If as few as only a couple of Speedmasters have that signature, I could well imagine them getting a noticable price bump.

    I can't imagine adding a Türler signature to a SM DeVille could be worth the effort.
