·hard to see about the dial.... my gut feeling is refinished; the printed minute marker strokes are not right. and to me the inner case back markings are laser engraved..... not a good sign for that claimed age..... no buy for me. kind regards. achim

··ΩF InvestiGatorMy vote is also all original. I'm normally very skeptical of earlier Omegas with black dials, but this one has two very good signs:
1. All the dial lume is uniformly aged and matches the hands.
2. The dial is marked "Swiss", not "Swiss Made". This would indicate a U.S. market piece.
Very nice piece,

··Steve @ ΩFThe script looks very appropriate for 1958 and matches that on 2846's I own.

If you look closely the "printing" is gilt (under) the black and not printed on top.
Movement and dial condition match nicely.

··ΩF InvestiGatorThat is exactly as it should be. Not laser engraved, but it is very sharp.
