Found these in an antiques maol and they were marked as Dirty Dozen watches, which seems super incorrect. But, I was curious if they are a redial of another model? What's everyone think?

Yes, military style repainted dials in some other watch, maybe Omega, maybe not. The first one is particularly blatant, with the pheon.

Thanks, that is what I was thinking. It's a bummer as the case has a lot of fun vintage things but now I'm suspicious of the seller and everything in the case if he was willing to label these as "dirty dozen" watches and give me a unnecessary speech about the history of the dirty dozen. 😒

Looks like a crapped out watch with a redial.

Generally, stuff that no knowledgeable collector would be interested in, and perhaps has even passed over, end up at antique malls. Two examples here.
