Hello!

I'm considering this connie which appears to be in good condition, however the dial - particularly the "Constellation"-logo made me uncertain. Is this the original font (dating from 1961), or has the dial been altered?

I thought so too, yet the seller insists on the opposite.

The font is all over the place.

Every hair on my head told me to stay away, so good to have it confirmed. Thank you!

Sometimes if the crystal is badly scratched, the font can be distorted… but this one looks more like a Harry Potter special unfortunately.
