Hi guys, looking at a watch in my local area. The case looks pretty clean, not very polished. On the dial I think it looks pretty clean, however on some watches the pie pan is more clear, has this got something to do with lighting or not? I think the watch is genuine, but before I pull the trigger I would like your opinion. The hands show some discoloration, but nothing off limits I think.

Yes I asked for higher resolution pictures, but he send some more of the same quality🤦‍♂️

Oh and I think the crown is not original, that should be a different one with constellations right?

Asking price is 1100, I was thinking to pick it up in person and maybe talk down the price a little. Thanks a lot.

Simple rule: If a Constellation cross hair has gaps its a redial so this one is a pass!

What they said - a very poor redial.

Plus, I’m not sure it is/was ever a pie pan.

too white, obvious reprint..
These 14381s /14393s can look very white and still be quite correct.

As others have said, this is a redial and should be very clear when you compare against photos of an original. The obvious tells here are 1) the crosshair should go through the text without spaces and 2) the font is incorrect (for example, the C in “Chronometer” is too tall, spacing is not uniform, among other issues)

Not only 14381/83's, I have this 2852 with a an extremely white dial too....the dial colour/finish looks the same as yours.

You were half right - it is a very obvious reprint !
