I vote redial, I'm afraid. Missing sunburst finish, cross hair is off. And yes, a redial does affect value significantly. I'm not sure I got a 100% of what you said, "it appears the dial has been repainted" - has the seller pointed this out to you? It certainly should've been made clear in the ad. Does he accept a return? Since it's from a dealer (and at least sold as "serviced") I assume it wasn't cheap and you can expect the originality that you, apparently, were made to believe when you made the purchase.
And one more thing, but that’s subjective: The case has been polished so severely that the dogleg lugs are hardly recognizable. It’d be a clear pass for me for that reason alone as it’s one of the major design features of this ref.
