I am not a Constellation expert, I am just using my eyes. The OP dial is not 12-sided, it has a paint job that makes it look 12-sided. @gbesq says that all 167.005 references should have a 12-sided dial. I don't know.
Wow I feel like i've got scammed then... I'm so confused right now .. haha

My 167.005 with edges. It should be called a pie pan, I think.


Yes, you can clearly see an actual step in the shape of the dial. The shadow is the easiest way to see it, I think.

As I said, I am just using my eyes, and I am definitely no Constellation expert, so you shouldn't take drastic actions based on my amateur opinion.

Stepping away from the dial discussion, It is your call on the watch, but with it missing the regulator screw, the claim of a recent service is questionable. If it was serviced then it was serviced poorly. I would be concerned. If it were me, and canceling the order was an option, I would give it serious thought.

Seller said he will get it back and send the pic before shipping .. all im worrying is if my dial has been replaced or redial ..

That one looks redial to me.
And the OP watch needs to be examined carefully, I see some signs of a redial on that dial.

So do you think mine is not a redial ?

I think yours is a redial but I am not very sure.
I need better photos.

Okay. I’ve found some OP dial with this reference ...

Yes, also no step on that one. Clearly you are able to identify these dials very well. 👍

What do u think of this one ? Some steps are clear and some are not.. maybe some steps has been faded away and that makes it look like an OP dial ? And if it could happen, is there a chance to mine you think ?

No, I don't think so. IMO, that step looks very clear. Again, the shadow is totally distinctive.
