Bad pics, but is it a redial?

    Hi folks, been eyeing this jumbo Longines on the bay with a 12.68z movement.

    The pictures aren't very good, and underexposed. I've tried asking for better pics, but the seller says this is the best he can do.

    The case looks unpolished. Dial... hmmm... I don't think it's a redial, but the wings under 'Longines' look slightly crooked, though it could be the angle.

    Thoughts? I'm vascillating between non-redial vs old redial.

    Movement looks ok though I'm definitely prone to missing movement problems, so any 'tells' would help!

    Thanks in advance!

    Can't see much, but not liking the paint crawling up the sides of the raised figures on the dial.

    Might want to wait for a better example.

    Look redialed to me: white paint overlap raised figures.
