If this has been re-dialed, they've made a good job of keeping the 'age'...

Or, it it correct because it's not a 'De Ville'?
I have to say Rudi, some of us aren't quite fully sold on the concept they do agree just yet. There are anomalies on the one you show as noted in the thread.
Even if it does turn out that there is a black dial crosshair SMDV the chances of finding one will be so vanishing small as to be insignificant. I am reminded of a line in Chickenhawk, the Robert Mason memoir about his time in Vietnam. It goes something like 'of the 33 kinds of snake in Vietnam, 31 are poisonous with those ratios you can afford to come to a preludial judgement: kill them all.'
In other words, treat all black dial Omega dress watches as suspicious until you achieve the nirvana of knowledge that means you can spot a good one. Most of us never get there. Life is just too short.
What do you guys think of this?

What do you think of it? People here are more likely to respond if you elaborate what your evaluation is - show your research. Also, as you said, more pictures are needed as this one clearly isn’t any help.
What I can tell you without better pictures is that I get a very bad feeling when dealers present bad repro buckles / straps as original Omega parts.
And a dealer that can’t provide a single sharp picture of the dial? Mmmh.
pictures to bad to really say something, but bad pictures often indicates, that the seller tries to hide something.
in this case i could be a redial.

Another I'm looking at: https://www.chrono24.co.uk/omega/om...dial-1967-with-omega-bracelet--id18230378.htm
I'm calling 'original dial' - unless you guys see something different?
If you are prepared to pay these prices, find one you like from Omega Enthusiast and be done with it! He has two black Seamaster 30s, with the one below only 3000 S/N after mine.

This is a DeVille / pre-DeVille dial variant I often see with a crosshair. Here are some examples that look okay to me. I’d want better photos of the one above of course (same with the second below).

I am not sure even if there were plain Seamasters with black crosshair dials!

Thoughts? Font checks out in my opinion.
