Vintage Seamaster Redial or Original?

[sVram]

Hi,
I've been following the forum for a while and learned a lot from all of you. I'm interested in vintage watches and recently started to practice spotting redials (mostly for fun but also because I'm interested in eventually buying one). So far so good. But this Seamaster I keep coming back to because I'm never confident in my assessment.

Case Nr. 2846-2848 2Sc

I'm mostly unsure about the 'M' and the 'TI' in Automatic; the E in Omega; the T SWISS MADE T on a pre 60s watch; and the line work on the seconds dial.

Any insight would be much appreciated as I'm still pretty new to the redial-identification-game.

Hello and welcome: do YOU see any (Tritium) lume on this dial?

Good point - I do not! And the little pockets where you would expect to find radium are empty...
so perhaps someone had the radium removed and then at some point did a redial to reflect this?

Or are there known cases of Omega using T SWISS MADE T even when no Tritium was later used on the dial?

It’s a poor redial.

Would OMEGA do this ? What do you think ? 😉

The indexes point more to 50ies...

Yea fair -- I was thinking of this post for example.

There were no 2846 or 2848s made with tritium lume. Therefore…

I wouldn’t hold too much faith in what is posted on that thread. Some of it is plain wrong or at least suspect.

You’re not wrong there.
