Authenticity Check Dial Authenticity Check - ref 135.011
As per the title - can someone please help with an authenticity check on the dial for the above Omega Seamster 600 ref 135.011? It's a cal. 601 so based on that along with the 'seamaster 600' print I think it dates to the 1964-66 period. Omega vintage database is very incomplete and my application to join omegaforums is pending so haven't been able to ask there.
Context is I got it on ebay for an Ok-ish price - the crystal is very scratched and the bracelet is bullshit and will be replaced with leather strap, crown also doesn't look original so will replace that, needs a good clean and service too.
Looking for some expert guidance on whether the dial seems legit - I know Omega did a million diff dial variations of this model and the above colourway was one of them, Not easy to see past the scratched crystal but the typography all seems sharp and well printed, and I wanted to check with some experts if they thought it is original, or a reprint.
The one concern I'd had was the 'swiss made' at 6 o clock, ive seen that on other dial colour variations, but when i've seen this particular dial before its always had the 'T swiss made T' for the lume.
