Just remember this one next time someone says that visible snailing (ridges) on a sub-dial is evidence of originality.

 

My totally untrained eye can't tell that these are re-dials.

 

This Thread will help you 'train your eye.' After you have looked at enough of them a bell will go off in your head when you see something wrong. For a collector there is no such thing as a 'good' redial.

 

I might be able to look past the blundering redial to score that beautiful bracelet...

 

Original or redial? Help me plz

 

This Is a tricky one...
No lume on the dial but it states ' T SWISS T '

 

Isn’t it a beauty?

And only 880€ „because it comes without box and papers“. Oh, well.

 

Interesting find. I’m not terribly familiar with vintage UN, but I’ve seen enough missing hour markers in my day to wonder if the dial is original, but the non-lumed hour indices are not (ie the original hour markers were lumed with tritium, but replaced with non-lumed markers)?

Another possibility: the dial and hour markers are original, and the tritium lume was restricted to the hands - but the lume on the hands has worn off with time. I see what may potentially be “slots” on the hands that could have held lume, but would need to see more pics to be certain.

 

Not an Omega, but definitely worthy of this thread.

 

There must be a desire for the red star somewhere out there.

 

I could swear someone posted the same dial with an Omega logo a few weeks ago.
Asking for info (re: his mother's watch)

Ah, nope.
Raised numbers but different dial.

Good candidate for this thread nonetheless.

 

Is the owner still looking for its calendar function???

 

Someone *chose* this colour?

 

I’m just gonna leave this here quietly

 

Oh shit

This seller has a history of some pretty atrocious examples, but somehow people keep paying good money for them
Not only is the dial a total work of fiction, the watch itself is too of course with movement and case totally out of sync.
So far so ebay, but what I don't like about this especially is the air of legitimacy the seller tries to present.

The wall of text about the movement is like a distraction technique and the sort of thing that might catch out noobs, meanwhile there's no mention that the hands are inauthentic or the fact it's not even a Seamaster. Maybe he was too busy with that luminous orange highlighter pen

 

So, more of a rewatch than a redial

 

Someone got into the piping set again

 

Don't be so tough

The header describes the watch "Vintage Homme" i guess he couldn't find the remaining letters for "Homage" and added an "M" instead !

Out of sheer desperation !!
