This would have been so perfect if the dial was original... http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNIVERSAL-G...013820954?pt=Wristwatches&hash=item19d8f07a1aPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
seller does say its a redial (hurray for a forthright seller), but I'm interested in other people's opinions. You fellows with Polerouters in hand, what say you?
It's definitely a redial. The 12 - 6 crosshair goes through the wrong letters - for example it shouldn't be on the line of the N in Genève, it should be between the N and È. It's also missing SWISS at the bottom. Nice looking watch though. I'd love to have it as an original dial. Passed one up a couple years ago and that's one of my bigger regrets.
I think it's a very nice redial. In old- fashioned redial style, they left out "SWISS". Here's a similar one (maybe yellow gold?): This watch was mentioned in - ironically enough - a WUS Omega thread involving at least one regular in this forum: http://forums.watchuseek.com/f20/vintage-omega-what-model-723949.html ***EDIT*** was loading this up when ulackfocus replied. Dial illustrates his point.
Here's a pic of mine - a little better than the pic from WUS: It's with only a desk lamp. I can shoot a better one tomorrow if needed, but this will get the point across about the alignment of the fonts in relation to the 12 - 6 crosshair.

I can walk there. Jersey is the garden state after all. Used to ride our dirt bikes through corn fields and apple orchards.
I didn't believe Joisey was peach country - corn and apples, sure, but peaches? - but then I came across this fascinating treatise: http://njaes.rutgers.edu/peach/statistics/nj-peach-history.pdf Apparently NJ has been peach country for like 333 years. I stand corrected.
