seller does say its a redial (hurray for a forthright seller), but I'm interested in other people's opinions. You fellows with Polerouters in hand, what say you?

So there's a chance its original? I saw it and was thinking that is just stunning

Dunno, just posing the question. I like it too, maybe even as a redial.

It looks just so deeply rose coloured, which works so well against the black dial

It's definitely a redial. The 12 - 6 crosshair goes through the wrong letters - for example it shouldn't be on the line of the N in Genève, it should be between the N and È. It's also missing SWISS at the bottom.

Nice looking watch though. I'd love to have it as an original dial. Passed one up a couple years ago and that's one of my bigger regrets.

I think it's a very nice redial. In old- fashioned redial style, they left out "SWISS". Here's a similar one (maybe yellow gold?):

This watch was mentioned in - ironically enough - a WUS Omega thread involving at least one regular in this forum:

***EDIT*** was loading this up when ulackfocus replied. Dial illustrates his point.

Here's a pic of mine - a little better than the pic from WUS:

It's with only a desk lamp. I can shoot a better one tomorrow if needed, but this will get the point across about the alignment of the fonts in relation to the 12 - 6 crosshair.

Heresy, I know, but... this is the rare redial that I would knowingly consider buying.

the Colonel Bogey March. I was trying to find a clip of Jack Hawkings saying "Madness...madness" but this'll do

Good song. Really resonates, because I can drive to peach country in like 30 minutes. 😀

I can walk there. Jersey is the garden state after all. Used to ride our dirt bikes through corn fields and apple orchards.
