    Apologies for another thread on this, but wondering if I can get your opinion on the below dial?

    I'm thinking redial- hour markers look pretty dark to me, but what are your thoughts?

    The minute ticks are misaligned with the minute markers. The vertical line is not in the middle of the omega symbol. Without better pics looks like a redial.

    Spotted those as well. Think you are right on that. Also, cross hairs do not extend to markers. Not sure if that's another red flag or not, but most constellations I've seen do. I don't see swiss made either though could be hidden from view

    Yep you picked up on another flag. More power to your elbow for taking the trouble to acquire the "knowledge" :) Another thing with redials is that often they do not place the chapter ring along the exact location of the original. Most often they use the same hands as were on the watch and the minute and sweep hands will over-reach the chapter ring and appear too long on the redial.
