Constellation: redial?

I’ll be the first to admit I’m no expert on these, but I’ve always been a fan.

The text below the logo looks to be redone to my eyes (second “O” in Chronometer too far right, overall text looks thin), but the Constellation script at the bottom looks good (again, to my eyes).

The minute hashes along the dial look a bit inconsistent as well, especially the 5 minute marks (specifically 4:00).

Okay, I guess I know the answer. Possibly just wishful thinking that I was being too critical.

Terribly redialed, from A-Z.

oddly well detailed but yes redialed oddly poorly on what you would think would be easy for the person that did this.

Nothing to add re the dial. Case - or what’s left of it - is also a tragedy.

Yeah, for the price asked I think I could deal with the case as is. But a re-dial is a dealbreaker for me.

Horrible redial, uneven markers, unaligned minute track, dog leg lugs are obliterated!

I would suggest looking at one or two known originals if you had even one thought this example could not be a redial.

We all started not knowing, but learned through study. This Forum has one dedicated thread on ALL ORIGINAL Constellations in all their stripes.

Adding to what @TexOmega about dedicated threads.

If you like this particular style of Constellations, check out this thread for reference examples and soon you will be able to spot the obvious redials yourself 👍.

Will do and thanks! What I’m actually looking for is a 2852 in just about any finish. But this one was listed at such an absurd price I figured I’d make an exception if the dial was correct. Which… well it’s not. Hence the price.
