Re: Omega seamaster dial help

Looks like a redial to me. On close inspection, the lettering looks different than what I usually see on Seamasters from that period. Also, most original dials would say "Swiss Made" at the bottom, under the minute markers at 6 o'clock. Finally, I do not think I have ever seen a Seamaster dial from that period that had painted markers at 12, 3, 6 and 9 instead of inlaid markers (doesn't mean they don't exist, just that I haven't seen any). Hope this helps.

By the way, do you have the movement caliber number available? Could not see it from the pics. That could help identify whether it is really a Seamaster.
