    I believe first one is a redial, second one doesn't look right either. I'd be very careful with South American sellers. Personally I wouldn't touch either.

    First one is a redial for sure. Second one looks like it has an original dial, but has been recased in an Argentine made 18K gold case.

    Not uncommon to see this and quite possibly original, but it does make it less collectible.

    I agree with Hijak, never had much faith in South American sellers. Too much funny business with watches coming from there.

    Yes, I guess even though feedback is stellar (100%), there is still the risk of shipping, scamming, yadda, yadda... I'll keep looking, and try to concentrate on US/European sellers... Thanks, guys!

    Can you tell me how you know the white dialed one is a re-dial?

    Actually, as I look more closely, the 'Flagship' script doesn't look right... I think I answered my question!
