    One of the better redials I've seen, but still a redial.

    South Korea is on the "do not buy" list due to the high quality of the redials. Most of the sellers there are very honest about it.

    I've seen some so good from there, that you really can't tell the difference.

    Almost as good as Hoi's Vietnam connection.

    Call me crazy, but there's something wrong in the detail of every item I look at. The Ω logo is too pinched together, the font of AUTOMATIC CHRONOMETER OFFICIALLY CERTIFIED is off, and the medallion looks funky - particularly the observatory and star shapes.

    How'd they get the hands soooo shiny?

    The seller says: FACE : silver tone / (Refurbish). He is honest.

    I see the letters may be too thick and the lume too green to be old. What else makes you guys to diagnose a redial on this one?. Still learning!. A minefield, this hobby!

    the cross hair seems to pass through the "e" of Constellation, but all the examples I see of pie-pan with crosshairs, the vertical line looks to split the e and the l.
    it doesn't help that it is hard to find authentic examples of dials like this (no marker at 3) with cross-hair and pie-pan and no COSC to compare it to!

    I can vouch for the seller, timeisok. I got my gemini 4 from him.
