MMMhhh ..
... the 166.024 dial that you mention would have a date aperture which would not suit a 14755.
If it is 165.024 dial, I would get that relumed by somebody like Aldo in Italy, rather than having one redialled fom scratch.
A 165.024 dial could be washed of the old/ruined luminous (if you want so), slightly olied to bring back the dark colour, and then relumed to match the luminous of the hands.
I have not seen a credible dial for SM300 done from scratch, by anybody.

Re: MMMhhh
Hi Franco, Thanks for your input, you´re correct I meant the 165.024 no date dial. I got it new old stock so I´d rather not touch them. The point is I need the triangular markers ala 14755 so a relume will no be enough. It will have to be painted from scr...
Ok
Hi well, certainly Aldo does not do redials .... but I repeat, nobody does good redials of SM300 dials. The one you show, pardon me, is horrible. The Omega symbol is totally wrong, The lume has been given with with some gross imprecisions. Plus the whole ...
you'll have a hard job getting a 14755 dial
especially an old one being sold on. perhaps would have been better with the original one in whatever the condition as now your watch just looks like a later 165.014 with a new dial. as this model can be bought significantly cheaper than a 14755 putting t...
