In Response To: Re: Help w/ authenticity of "80'S OMEGA SEAMASTER" I purchas ()

I really appreciate your advice. Resell isn't a concern, I would just hate for it to be a blatantly fake watch with me being the only one who didn't know the difference!

: If Glenn has never seen a dial in that color, and I have never seen
: a dial in that color, it is highly unlikely this is an original
: dial.

: Dials wear and age over time. At one time it was routine for a
: watchmaker to send a dial to be refinished as part of a complete
: service on an older watch. However, collectors value originality
: greatly.

: On the other hand, you are the one wearing the watch -- if you like
: it and want to wear it, it is your decision. It will not be an
: easy watch to resell, however.
