Vintage Seamaster dial font fade?

Josak · Mar 21, 2020

Hi there! I am looking to get a nice 1950s seamaster, and come across this one in the pic.

It has everything that i want EXCEPT the word Omega Automatic, .. is it normal for old watch with patina to have faded font like this?

(The word Seamaster looks very clear but Omega Automatic is faded, shouldn't they all go the same way?)

Copying my reply from your other thread -

Usually this is because of the dial having been cleaned, but I’m not sure that’s the case here..

Looks like an offer from a seller in Vienna who has not a good reputation among the forum members 😲 so watch out!

I think a better example will come along with patience. To me, I’m looking at damage rather than patina. The case looks over-polished, too.

The seller is known to spend a few dollars to get the watch running to sell it to some poor sap
