Correct Dial?

 
 By: diamondjim : September 20th, 2010-14:15
Hi, I just received this today and I would like some opinions about the dial, is it untouched? I based my decision on the font style but I'm still a novice and just want to be sure, still a nice watch I'll keep regardless. Also what does the "Star" on the...

It was refinished, Jim.

I have a 2577 Seamaster here and I'd like to share with you some pics. The T SWISS MADE T should not be there (too early for that), The earliest I've seen are on the dials of 168.010 and C cases 168.015 IMHO, you need to erase those two T's and relume the...

I thought as much...

But why would I relume the hands? Do you mean to match the off-white on the markers? The hands glow now (for a few seconds) under UV exposure. I'll keep it as is til I find a suitable replacement but I think it will be added to to my regular rotation for ...

Sorry Jim, they looked like black paint to me.

At the first look. I thought it was the black stripes. BTW, I also have a refinished dial like yours, I mean the redialer used the wrong script on the dial. Here it is. It's the dial of a 2627 seamaster, powered by a 353 serial # 13 mil. the redialer used...

Now that is neat

I think that this would warrant a very detailed article on the pitfalls of Omega print, script and font styles. I don't recall seeing anything too detailed but I think this would be a worthy project for you Hoi, I expect it on my desk by the end of the mo...

I have only 3 scripts to start with.

Hi Jim. I love to work and learn in things like this, but unfortunately, right now I have only 12 Seamasters in my possession to examine and take pictures. The earliest Seamaster that I have is the 2576. powered by a 342, serial # 12 mil 3..... This is cl...

My contribution...

Hoi, very nice start. Perhaps a new thread on cataloging the Seamaster script? I think Desmond (Mondodec) has some of this on his inestimable site. Here's a large photo of the dial from my ref 14725 American-market Seamaster from ca. 1960. Notice the seri...

Thanks Tom.

Thank you for posting, Tom. I remember I saw that script before but cannot recall at the moment. I also have this type of Seamaster, which has the R going down like your script. The first S is a bit different though. This Seamaster script is quite early, ...

Magisterial. Thanks for . . .

. . . contributing the macros and analysis, hoi, it's helpful to those of us who aren't experienced collectors. Cordially, Art

A few examples of mine (many pictures)

 
 By: grumio : September 22nd, 2010-20:38
I've attached pictures of a few dials of mine. All are to my knowledge original and not repainted. They cover the periods from around 1951 until the late 60s, as well as two later production service dials. To my eye at least these dials clearly show the d...

what a feast for the eyes !

Thanks a lot Grumio. I love your pics, which reveal all the details with the years and models. I still want to have some more from other members (Mike, Erich...please) then we can classify them into groups , variations , era etc.... Best regards. Hoi.

This is developing nicely

Hi, this thread is really starting get interesting, besides having more members contributing maybe we could incorporate past photos and discussions. These are two new ones I picked up over the weekend, the first is a Century 14713-61, cal 268. I'm questio...

Hi Jim The multi-display on the Seamaster 120m I totally agree is very cool.... The dial on the Century appears to be a redial. How is the case marked? Good Hunting Bill Sohne

case photos

 
 By: diamondjim : October 1st, 2010-10:50
Hi Bill, heres a quick pic of the case back and movement, I bought this for a song and I just wanted the movement for a spare or tradebait. I haven't cleaned anything yet but I do have many more movements than available cases, such is life! Jim...

Seamaster Dial

 
 By: ste : December 2nd, 2012-19:36
Hi Could anyone tell me can I replace a Omega Automatic 330 dial on my Omega Seamaster 342? Are they the same size, I was wondering whether the sub-second of 330 dial can lie on Omega 342 movement. Anyone tried before? appreciate you helping Thank You Ste...

No....

 
 By: Bill Sohne : December 2nd, 2012-19:46
Hi A omega 330 has a diameter of 30.10 mm and 342has a diameter of 28.10 . A 340 series dial would fit but not a 330 series dial. Good hunting Bill Sohne

Thanks again Bill
