Just wanted to check and see if any expert eye agrees with my assessment that this 2852 is a redial. Dial condition is suspiciously good, especially in contrast to the wear on the lugs. I think also the lettering looks off. No flat top on the ‘A’s for example. That said, if this is a redial, its a very good one.
Serial number is 148… so a 19 jewel cal 501, late 50s.
Any thoughts guys? Huge thanks as always to the community.

Hi guys.
I am aware the 2849 reference should have a clover crown, like my example below.

Continue readingWhat do we think of this 14740-C? Stainless steel case with 18k white gold arrowhead markers, Connie style. I think this is fairly rare as I struggle to find this kind of arrowhead marker all the way around the dial, as opposed just around 12, 3, 6 and…
Continue readingHi all. Just purchased this 1969 18k Seamaster Ref. 166.001. Lovely patina and nice lettering.
However the ‘Swiss made’ lettering is, on close inspection half cut off. I suspect this is because the non original Omega PX5011 plexiglass crystal is not r…

It’s the usual dilemma . Fallen in love with this vintage 1968 De Ville online listing – however the lettering, specifically the two ‘L letters’ looks quite bunched together on the pics. Is this legit?
Out of interest, how is the lettering on the dial applied in the first instance? Hand written, so in theory each watch is unique – or a standardised text?
Apologies for link only, but don’t want to post images that don’t belong to…
