Dial Advice 2852 Conny

Hello from Germany,

this 2852 Conny has aroused my interest. I've already had one or two vintage Omega and a few Constellations and would say that I'm reasonably 'good' at judging dials and condition, but unfortunately I'm out of my depth here (perhaps also because of the bad pictures).
The color depth of the lettering seems too dark to me and I'm always rather cautious with crosshair dials anyway.

I would be very happy if the experts here could help me and give me your opinion on the dial and its general condition.

It's supposed to be an heirloom, but to be honest, it rarely really is 😁

Best
David

PS: I've already noticed the 'Najad' crown 😉

It’s also been polished to the point of looking artificial. The movement, while correct for this reference is the Cal. 501, which is not found on the -12 production run, so it is frankenwatch, too.

I’d run away from this one.

The n's are weird lookin' in Constellation and all the fonts and spacing up-top are an eyesore.
