    I find it odd that the minute and seconds hands stop so far from the minute tic marks...

    At the very least the hands and crown have been replaced.

    Questionable dial.

    Stupid money for this watch.

    I have never seen Tiffany in Red, someone wanting to call attention to it perhaps?

    Interesting.
    The listing states:
    "Authenticity proved by NYC Diamond District Expert"
    That's comforting..

    Nice comparison but remember these watches were sold to Tiffany in this very same condition and altered by the company for sale..

    redial and I would not trust anyone in the NYC diamond district except maybe a handful of people, and none of them would be selling this.

    I don't think the Tiffany in red, or in that font, are unusual.

    Rest of the comments are well taken.

    Thanks...

    As with any acquisition, consider the premium for something unusual. Specifically with Tiffany dials, collectors like to have some provenance to substantiate the claim, i.e., Tiffany papers, etc.

    So when looking at these timepieces, consider the value without the added "writing" to substantiate your investment..

    Here's one, but doesn't prove anything. The dial on the ebay watch could very well have been 'tinkered with' along the way, or entirely fabricated.

    I'm not familiar with omega but I wouldn't pay a premium for a double stamped Rolex with out original papers. Actually if it's a fake stamp, it detracts from the value of the dial.


    I blame it on the autoconnect.
