    Hi All,

    Was just offered this connie and hoping to get your opinions on it. Looks good to me, but I've missed some things before so hoping to get some more eyes on it.

    As from your pictures
    - the crosshair doesn't seem to 'cut through' the Omega symbol in the middle
    - the minute markers by the hour markers (esp at 5 and 6) are off, but might also be pic distortion
    - there has been an assessment of a comparable dial some months ago here on OF: that one was considered a make-belief dial: pie-pan not being a pie-pan. Not sure about this one
    - the thickness of the crosshair seems to match that of the fonts: that might be a sign of redial (but opinions differ on the exact way of assessing)
    - and then some reverse psychology: dial condition looks too good to be true alltogether.
    Not much to go on, but my feeling says: redial.

    Case too much polished to my liking.

    Ask @hoipolloi , he'll know for sure.

    Edges of the pie pan don't look sharp enough, they have that "rolled over" redial look. It does look good though.. I think the crosshairs look thinner and look good. Still it seems off, the end of metre looks wonky.

    This is easy after the expert :) I also found is good looking - I think the Blackberry dials are hard to shoot with the camera

    Some will say the minute hand is a bit long, doesn't bother me. Nice example.

    If the movement is similar condition as case, would be a good buy
