Constellation cal 564 - black dial
Hello I would much appreciate opinions on this recently acquired Constellation cal 564. I have not opened the back, but it seems to be a rare black dial - or is it a redial? I am unsure about the lack of minute markers, the faded lettering in the 'o' and ...
From the pictures you provided
it looks like a redial to me. Clearer high resolution pictures would confirm if my suspicion is correct.
Additional picture added..
.. sorry for my poor iphone photos. If it is a redial, can anyone confirm that Omega made a black dial in this configuration (long thin hour markers). The seller told me it was an original dial (for what this is worth). Other points: The date window is OK...
Yes
...they did make a black dial version of 168.004. The tell-tale sign of a refinished dial is the white lettering. The original black dialled models have silvered lettering for stainless cases and gold lettering for gold cap and gold cases. Cheers Desmond
