    just trying to improve my knowledge and hope members will assist with my education. Spotted this on eBay and suspect it may be a redial (although not the worst I have seen) for the reasons stated below (link above and photo selection below). The question is. Am I right? And what have I missed? All comments appreciated

    1. Font height and style for AUTOMATIC

    2. Line up of cross hair to MOY

    3. Line up of cross hair to star

    4. “Constellation” font and style look off

    5. Line up of cross hair to 6 indice..possibly??

    Additionally case is very polished

    You are right. It's a redial.

    You'd be surprised how few people actually care and just want the style.

    DON'T DO IT MAN!!

    The redialers will read this and know how to improve their next batch of Constellation dials! :eek::eek:




    :p


    (another excellent tell is the very soft pie-pan edges)

    For some good, clean family entertainment, have a look at the Worst Redials thread. @X350 XJR is king of that particular segment of OF.

    Lol..If it gets to the stage my knowledge is the difference between a good and bad redial then they really are screwed

    Very familiar with worst redial thread as I have been learning from the forum for quite a while now but still plenty more to ingest.
    Cheers
