    I've been told this watch has a redial and I wanted to know where i could find a authentic dial (can be used) for under $50. The crown is also not authentic so i would like a real one. It's from 1960-69 and the case size is 35 mm. The watch costs $180 rn but the auction has 7 more days. s-l1600.jpg s-l1600 (1).jpg s-l1600 (4).jpg s-l1600 (3).jpg

    Maybe start looking for a new case at the same time, that one's been polished to death.

    Seriously, you would be wise to look for a better example, there are a few around, just take your time..

    I like the other watch because the seller said it was serviced. Is this better?

    Rough case, wrong crown (maybe), dial from a Genève when it should be a Seamaster.

    You need to spend some time learning about your target watch and then buy with confidence.

    Read the stickies. You'll be surprised how much you can learn with a little effort.

    You'll be saving yourself a lot of time, effort and maybe even some cash, if you take your time to look for a nice example then send it for servicing instead of getting a poor example and replacement parts.

    Just using the reference number, Omega calls it a Seamaster.

    I know that the Seamaster/Genève names were often interchanged, but not in this case.
