Vintage Omega database question

Hi I'm new to the forum and new to vintage watches. Got a newbie question.
I'm aware there is an official omega database where you can look up vintage watches by reference numbers.
I've been browsing eBay and noticed that some dials on eBay don't match the pictures in the database.
Does that mean it's a redial or is there anyway to find out any variations of a certain watched produced.
For some that only have generic pictures in that database, how do I know if it's a redial or original?
Thanks in advance for any input.

The link does not work 😉

I have always found that searching by the calibre of the movement is the best way to search on the Omega Vintage Database. It usually produces a hand full of possibilities, which you can then look through in turn.

That Omega database is very hit and miss. It’s always worth a quick look to see if things will match up there, but about 50% of the time it’s missing something...the photo, a 0 in the reference number, acknowledgement that the case comes in steel, you name it.

Next step is to just do a google image search on the case reference and see what comes up. Usually a quick scroll through will tell you what’s a canonical dial. If you’re still not sure, post a photo of the target in here and ask for advice. The guys that know their stuff will let you know right away if they spot a heretical creation!

Good luck in your search! This is a really nice forum so I hope you’ll stick around and pay forward the help you get!

Looks like I need to watch and learn for a while.
Also looks like the sales in this forum is the way to go for a newbie like me.
