·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.
Vintage Omega on ebay - re-dial all?

·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.
So any Constellation with crosshair will be unbroken crosshair, but mid/late 60s SM600 will be broken?
It's so confusing... I looked at the database in OMEGA web, but it's not nearly complete

·X x0x0Yes, mine is 136.011

That’s a reasonable rule of thumb but there are lot is nuances and exceptions to most rules with Omega.

·To me its always very interesting to see people at the start of their search into Vintage Omegas posting threads like this. One day you will look back and laugh that you could even partially consider some of these as even close to real. Here's a checklist I made for myself after paying the noob tax to ensure I would never again. I ensure to do all these steps before even considering to buy:
1. Knowing the reference number
2. Searching it up on Google and looking at other examples
3. Comparing the listing closely to the other examples
Warnings:
1. If its too good to be true, it probably is.
2. I'd honestly say 95%+ of Black Dialed Vintage Omegas are redialed, especially on ebay. Nice black vintage omegas do not go for cheap, especially if they are glossy dialed.

·X x0x0I saw that kind of dial in another case, I assume it's possible, just not in the case in the pic?
The nearest you’ll get in a 600 are the examples shown in these threads.

·3,4, and 7 are the only ones I'd posit are legit dials.

No 3’s hard based on one photo but as:
- The black dial Deville with crosshair is commonly seen as a redial
- Some of the hour markers don’t appear to be well centred with the minute marks
- There doesn’t appear to be any lume in the recessed.
I’d sway towards redial. However, I agree, better pictures could show otherwise.

·X x0x0Whew, I didn't even check the description haha
whats your opinions on this watch? will you consider a re dail like that?
Not at the price he wants for it. Maybe $400 if I was *really* in love with that particular dial and saw no other way to get my hands on it.

Wow... you have lots of knowledge thats for sure
amazing
If you saw Ranchero with those orange on the hours marking, will you consider it re dail?
No that dial looks original to me (although I’m no Ranchero expert).
Whether the lume has been redone is a different and sometimes much harder question to answer.

·wow this thread is a mess and that tuxedo pan is a bombshell
I also want a tuxedo but a very impractical watch since the crystal seals it and there's no caseback
