I am looking at this on Fleabay. The parts look authentic, but the dial looks almost too good to be true. Is this a redial?

is that really a blue font???

 

I just cut and pasted the link...should be a hot link.

 

No, I mean the font on the dial.
edit : sorry I was in a weird light and I saw the writing in blue

 

is its bezel there?

 

yes the bezel is there but the crystal was changed for a much to high one.

 

the "Swiss Made" is awfully far apart. The M on the chronometer is not right? I vote redial!!!

Minute marks are sloppy. The type is not consistent in size and thickness of the print.

 

this is very probably a redial. The shape of the M is indeed to round. the space between swiss and made looks normal to me. yes, the minutes markers are fuzzy and the second hand a not too long.
this is not the worst redial ever seen tough not perfect.

 

Thanks a lot! Goes to show about "too good to be true!"

What do you think about this one?

depends on the price. having a redone dial re re done is possible too if you have it for a good price. the lugs have been polished a bit too much IMO.

 

Is this a redial or original?

 

see, there's only on T near to swiss made. there should be 2 or none. As the hands are black duco it not a luminous dial I guess, so no Ts

 

Thanks for keeping me out of hot water!

 

No worry, the tip of the second hand must be at the exact level of the minute tracks. So it seems a bi too long. This is not a big issue as it can't be cut. If you find a correct dial, don't mind the hands. Tehy can't easily be changed.
you should read desmond's blog about dials and cases.

 

"Swiss Made T" IMO does not match up with date code for the movement (1966). Movement not original? dial not original? I will defer to my more learned brethren.

 

Here is another one...what do you think about the authenticity of the dial?

You need a pic of the movement. Polished case. Scratches on the caseback still seen after a heavy polish. Beware.

Please keep in mind I am a novice and my opinions should be considered as such.

 

And this one?

Hi PA
Welcome to the world of Constellations!
It depends on what you are looking for as to comments on the watches you've posted
Ie a daily wearer or a 'collectors' example
Are you okay with patina or want a watch blemish free?
If you're set on a pie pan dogleg Connie then collectors like sharp case edges - esp the lugs
Finding a good case together with a good pie pan dial is the hard bit
As Connies - esp pie pans - are popular lots of them have been redialled
Look at the show and tell Connie thread for some great examples - and lots of other styles of Connies too
And Desmond's blog is the best resource for new learners
Good luck with your search
Post your targets but try to comment on them yourself first - you'll get browny points from the members and more help that way
