    Prices are WAY too high even if they were original dials - which they aren't. :(

    I had a feeling the black one was bogus... so the '58, too? very good to know!

    Have you seen the first one I posted about an hour ago, the Steel '54, with a 12.68Z? I know he's asking way too much.. but is it otherwise OK?

    Thanks, Dennis.

    Although he says these were just serviced and running great, I don't want a re-dial, so I won't be getting either of these... if anyone else in has interest, I'll be glad to pass on contact info...

    Despite the slight disbelief of Omega guys, Longines is even worse in the redial department (on a percentage basis). Probably because the redialers can recreate the fonts more accurately.
