It's not exactly a good find, but I could've bought it, however, the thin fonts kinda kept me from pulling the trigger, it seemed to me that the font's should be like 20% bolder

TL;DR: Is this a re-dial?

I’d be more worried about the rust looking deterioration of the bezel - and what lurks beneath it

It's an uncleaned/raw watch, so from my experience those are just dirt

I can't really pinpoint anything apparently wrong with the dial ...

Maybe it's just a bad lens chosen for a close-shot photo ...

Looks fine to me. I think it is a combination of the textured dial and a slightly worn crystal. One of the best C-shape dial/hands combinations.

Another angle, I don't think there's an omega mark on the crystal either

From this angle the top typography looks better, but Constellation is still thin

Crown is original

The printing looks fine to me eye, though I don't focus on the model line.

I think the lens used to take the photo is super weird, because the printed minute marker ticks look like 10-20% longer to me, in addition to the thinner fonts

Probably the aftermarket crystal that's causing this effect tho

Edit: there's also a blur in the second photo that could be an Omega mark, but I'm probably seeing things at this point

Honestly, it looks genuine to me - and is one of those occasions when the seller should have taken a picture without the crystal.
