I bought this 2576 Chronometre years ago

And always assumed it was a redial, the spelling of "CHRONOMETER" being a big red flag,. But I've found a couple of others whose script looks very similar, and the cal 343 movement is in near perfect condition. It is, to my knowledge, the only redial (if so) in my collection, and because of that my intent was to sell it. But before I do, I would like confirmation from the experts.

100% redial. Script is completely off in Seamaster alone, -er spelling didnt happen until years ago, it’s very sloppy overall. Look at the 5-min markers in the sub second for example.

Mine.

I think it was your post about this one that was one reason I bought mine. The movement is rare, and IIRC usually found in the Centenary. So despite the dial, it is still a nice piece. But, it now sticks out like a sore thumb compared to my others so off the the Bay it will go.

Yeah the quality just isn’t there. The fonts are wrong, the lume is clearly newer and the spacing of the minute marks is inconsistent
