Hi guys,
I am considering this watch as my next purchase. I’m waiting on the seller giving me pics of the case back before I pull the trigger. Is this a redial and has it been overpolished? If not is everything else legit? Seller looking for £500. Once again, thanks very much for your excellent advice in advance 😀

How can you tell? I am quite a novice when it comes to all this...

The fonts are off. The minute track and sub-dial are especially bad.

Its hard to tell for a novice, I've been there myself, but when you have looked at hundred and hundred of dials - redials and originals - you know when something is off 😀

A redial, Grossly overpriced. Stay away, you will find much better.
Look at the edges of the subdial. They are blunt and not sharp. That’s a dead giveaway.

...and with the regulator jammed way past R it's going to service at the very least...

OP, you would be better served educating yourself by following Hnansen's lead rather than jumping at every watch that catches your eye.
