Hey guys, I'm not going to buy the watches, but I want to know if anyone can share he's thoughts on those watches.
I think it's a re-dial, am I wrong? never saw a cross hair like that on the text and the 2nd watch is a bit weird?
I want to train myself to distinguish between redail and fakes...

I see two, the 246 and the 600. Everything else appears correct to me.
really? even though the cross in on the text?

Yes, Omega never used DELUXE and No.. 246 on a dial.

Oh perhaps I misunderstood you. Yes, the crosshairs intersect the text. That's how they all are.

I saw many cross that doesn't touch the text, so either can be correct historically?

1, 2, 3 and 6 are certainly redials. I don’t know about the rest as they’re out of my comfort zone.

Two in particular is so wrong it’s ridiculous

The ones that don't are likely refinished.

What makes you think 6 is redail?

Probably, though they did a pretty good job. It wouldn't bother me too much if I liked it.

That’s original. The crosshair not touching the text rule doesn’t apply to the late 60’s/early 70’s.

The seamaster 600? It’s a poorly executed fantasy redial in completely the wrong case.

I see, how can you tell what's the year of the watch just by looking at it? Interesting

s-l1600.jpg I mean, the main thing that screams at me its a redail it's the orange lume (? is that what it is?) that too bright imo, am I right?

Its just a terrible, poor quality, miss-matched, fantasy mess.

No SM600 dial belongs in this case.
This style of dial is a commonly used template for redials.
The quality of the print is poor.

It’s more the reference/dial style. Ie yours looks like a 136.011? The ‘Technic’ version of this dial only appeared on the watch mid/late 60’s and the broken crosshair is correct.
An earlier Constellation on the other hand should have an unbroken crosshair.
