Omega

Warning: The Image shown is graphic, and may be offensive to some viewers.

At least I found it offensive at first glance. But on further review, I noticed some things I liked: The stretch bracelet is in spectacular condition, and has the # 6 end links:

The case still has the original brushed/polished finish, and the edges are still fairly crisp:

While the dial looks like it was done with crayons, I THINK the Broad Arrow hr/min hands and the Lollipop second hand are original

The crown has the Mercedes/Antimagnetic logo The crown has the Antimagnetic "Mercedes" within the Omega:

The inner anti-magnetic back is present, model number appropriate, and the movement looks good:

So, with a decent dial, IMHO, this would be one fantastic watch. So I am here begging for, help.
Best option would of course be an original, non-refinished dial. If anyone has a source for one, I would be willing to pay a premium. Short of that, getting the existing dial redone by a true professional would be the next best option. I am open to any suggetions. TIA for any help.

Go for the original. Not easy to find, though.

So, the usual ways are to be considered: The Bay, and the different collectors markets... Good luck. Best, Nicolas

Why not just send the watch to Omega factory service?

They will either have an original dial available or be able to refinish that one with the original prints / stencils. Of course, you will have to pay for a service as well.

I second that Omega factory service will probably be your best bet

It is a fairly modern watch and should not present them with any problems. Best, Martin

Great find

Just for reference, I think the hands are not all original. Normally if lollipop, there is no broad arrow. This seconds hand look a bit off, usually it is white and with a bit different proportions. My guess is that the seconds hand is a replacement. Best...

Hands

Will respectfully disagree with the "if lollipop then no broad arrow" comment as there are numerous pictures of these existing together, even in the post which follows mine . But the proportion of the "pop" to the rest of the "lolli" is bothersome. I thin...

I think you are referring to the Seamaster 300 / 2913....

By: blomman Mr Blue : November 8th, 2016-12:53

Which is another story... Even if your dial at the moment say Seamaster, this is clearly a Railmaster / 2914. ´ Early Railmaster had the broad arrow on the hour hand. Later came the Lollipop, but with dauphin hands. The Seamaster on the other hand has the...
