DateJust 1601 authenticity/dial question
Just got this watch a couple of weeks ago. It's a 1601 in SS/WG bezel. Is it original? And if yes, can such a SS/WG 1601 have a white matte dial with YG markers and hands without having been redialled?
Thanks

Bump. BTW, the dial is a sigma dial.

Nice.
The T lume doesn't look redone.

The dial looks ok but it most likely originally had a yellow gold bezel, crown and possibly a two tone bracelet. Three things easily corrected depending on the combination you prefer. Its a nice Omega dial.
Or, it was originally an SS model and the dial and hands were swapped out for yellow gold at some point.

A lot of these watches were "converted " impossible to know on a 1601

Thanks a lot for the input. I think it was a TT converted into a SS/WG because the pin on which the hands are set is also yellow, and usually it's also silver/white when the hands are WG originally.

Anyway, it was never produced by Rolex in this particular setting (SS/WG with YG hands and markers), right?
I've only seen this particular combination twice in my life (this one and another one I've seen online which didn't have a sigma dial). |

Oh, this watch has a Tritium lume dial from 1974. Is it ok for it to still glow today (a bit faintly)?
