    Hello there, actually first post hella.

    Jokes aside i have a question that is hunting me, i've made a purchase and now im actually regretting not asking for advice early on( tho i can still step back from it, ebay yay! ) everything is regarding the dial.

    The caliber is a 564 of that im sure, the quick date setup works as it should but thats all i know.

    168.017 Cal 564

    Thanks in advance

    Looks good to my novice eyes. The wonky star is a relatively common issue on a lot of Connie's. Of course, we should await the opinions of the experts.

    Hi welcome the forum,

    As you suspect it’s a redial I am afraid.
    Just look at the bottom of the two l’s in Constellation, one is lower than the other, they should be level.
    Lots of other red flags with the fonts but this is most obvious to me.

    That's entirely up to you.
    If the seller made claims the dial was original then you have a case, if not you have no grounds for return.
    No harm in trying though if your not happy.

    How do we know if the seller described the watch correctly.

    If he didn’t, you have a case to return.

    If he (or she) did describe it as seen then you have entered into a contract to buy it as seen.

    Where is the link to the original sale so that we may pass judgement upon you (or them)?

    “Top condition” is a purely subjective, and often a misunderstood appelation for “minty”, “like new” etc etc.

    Where is the link to the sale?

    I still would assume top condition or minty doesnt relate to a star going in to the wrong direction

    I bow to your greater knowledge in such matters.

    I’m done.

    Edit. Seeing the sales post does not change my view. i don’t have the skillls to interpret a convoluted description in a foreign language, and in my case, I would not have bid.

    I wouldn't do it...why?
    + star is not correct or even
    + definitely fails MOY test
    + some of the serif doesn't seem right
