Hi guys

My watchmaker has a Seamaster bullhead it's restored polished, serviced... but the dial was in bad shape and he redialed it. How much should I pay?
Regards

I don't have any idea what that's worth but I will say your guy did a terrific job.
If that's what you're looking for you couldn't do much better.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! I have no idea what a reasonable price would be, but that thing's gorgeous. Would look great with a mesh band.

That's great restoration!

If that thing doesn't scream "1970's" I don't know what will.

Interesting for sure.

Nice restoration

I wish this is the dial Omega had chosen for the reissue debuted at Basel this year. I do like the white roulette dial, but I like this one better!

Holy frack that is NICE!

I'd have to disagree, that's a rather bad job, he did the date window border in the wrong colour, got to the edge and ran out of room, so he gave up.

The bezel which is meant to be sharp is polished so heavy handedly that its been rounded off, the radial brushing on the outside of the case is gone, the outer edges which are meant to be sharp have been rounded off, the lume plot at six is missing and the lume plot at two is sort of half done and odd-shaped.

As a restoration job I'd give it a D- its nothing but lipstick on a pig.

All of the lume plots are off-center...

I would like to see it on a bracelet or strap. Really interesting watch to say the least, nice find.

It's just a project guys. Go easy on him. Dude doesn't work for Omega.

I like it, it's an eye catcher for sure. If I had that I wouldn't get anything done I'd be looking at my watch all the time

Not a watch for the masses.
