seamaster 600 with unusual black dial???
hi all,
last week, was happened to share photos of some of seamaster 600 collection. Art responed to my post and suggest to post some bigger photos to this forum.
the reason to post these photos here is to see anyone of you who may be able to tell whether the dial of these watches is original, in particular for the one with black dial with the omega logo in red color. Art has said the dial looks unusual to him.
your view would be most welcome. many thanks.

Sorry for the stupid question...
but what does 600 stand for in this case ? Obviously not 600m... Cheers Jeff
Jeff it signifies a 6XX series movement is inside it
although i have come across at least 1 lying git claiming it to be a '600m divers watch' on fleabay. to Stefan, i've seen a lot of black dial 600's, but never with a red symbol. it is undoubtedly a redial. i dont know if a black dial is original, but ther...
IMHO the dial ...
Hi Graham, I think you might be wrong... IMHO the dial is original and it is not so unusual to find 600 Seamsters with black dial and even with red Omega logo. I have seen several of them over the last years... which were original and without any doubt....
there you go, my mistake....
there you go, my mistake. i learn something new everyday on this forum. thanks Erich Best Graham
Thanks for posting the close-up shot, Stefan . . .
. . . the dial printing appears to be immaculate, so my guess is that the dial originated from Omega. I've never encountered this model either in virtual reality or in the metal . . . are there any markings on the inside of the caseback, either from the m...
here is the info on the movement... thanks Art.

Thanks for performing the heavy lifting, Kurt ;-) . . .
. . . it's very much appreciated. Assuming this photo is definitive, then I'd have to say Graham's instincts were right on the money . . . cordially, Art
Art, i've missed so much...
Art, i've missed so much in 3 days and you saying i might be right about something is the biggest thing :) best from a person working on auto pilot until tomorrow. Graham
Ah, Graham, it's one thing to be right about an Omega . . .
. . . but it's another matter entirely if you believed Nico's story about drinking innumerable glasses of water ;-) . . . warmest regards, Art
this time i could believe...
this time i could believe what my own eyes saw :) best Me
a nice 1965 ish 601...
a nice 1965 ish 601 calibre. if it had been a year earlier i'd be very jealous. best graham

Hi, I'm new to the forum but your watch caught my eye. I first noticed watched like this on european watch site (they were selling two). I then had a chance to purchase one and below is the one I got (the one with the date). Joel My watch...
nice watch Joel, i'm still...
nice watch Joel, i'm still on the lookout for an sm600 and sm30 from 1964. both quite important to a collection as one has the 6XX handwind range and the other the last of the 30mm derivatives like the 286. there are always a selection available, but i'm ...
the black dial was original omega version
The dial may be unusual but is/was original omega. I have a 600 of my own ca. 1965 with this black dial, recenly fully restored and re-painted by Omega workshops.
one pic avail
This is the watch. Taken after re-paint work. case back is the usual one....
wow, very nicely done...
many thanks for the pic. it looks perfect to me. it also make me rest assured that the dial of my watch is original. you know one of my friends show me one magazine that there is the same dial but in white. it would be very interesting to get one in white...
