[Constellation] Opinion on 2 MOY failures - I believe one genuine, one re-dial

First one is a MEISTER dial that seems to fail, but from lume pips etc. - it should be authentic I assume
Second one is a meteor dial, I think it's a re-dial

Those C-case have something special... the MOY test does not works everytime! There are many dial variation.

hard to tell from pictures you provide, but both of them may be original to me

The Meteor Dial is neat, but I am a sucker for anything space related 馃榾

I think they are correctly called 'silky guilloche' dials but more commonly known as 'linen' dials in these parts.

Lovely, but not very space related I'm afraid.

The second watch has 2 deeply curved n's on Constellation, usually the first n is slightly curved, second n is deeply curved

AUTOMATIC is more like A U TOMATIC

So the second one seems fishy to me

What's special about the second one by the way, does it have a rarity that I didn't notice?

@Gui13250 means that C cases are special, in that they have many more variations than any other Connie.

whilst I agree that the 'automatic' looks oddly spaced, if you move the red line to the right slightly it would bisect the Omega symbol, the first part of the M, the O and the star and miss the 'e'
it still fails the MOY test but this is common on C cases.

better pics would help in assessing the dial

Second looks like someone touched or redid the luminous. Looks sloppy compared to the first
