    Sorry if this is an obvious answer, but is this case polished?


    Thanks for the help!

    Actually not too bad, but the dial is horribly refinished.

    Damn, and I didn't ask about the dial because I was so sure it wasn't refinished. I need to get better at this lol.

    As a Noob, I'd like to identify some of the issues to see if I'm learning anything. Minute mark's don't line up with applied hour markers, applied Omega logo is not aligned properly, star is not aligned properly, faint crosshairs, lack of patina.

    Others?

    Omega font is terrible.........well, every part of the printing is just bad. Swiss Made print is a joke.

    The print is the hardest part for me to identify as being incorrect. Need to see 100 or so more original examples to make the distinction I guess.

    The boundaries of pie-pan are smoothed and rounded over instead of exhibiting sharp edges. It's an obvious and immediate red flag even without looking at details.

    Hi Guys,

    Still being noob to the piepan thing (so don't blame me for this) but I have to confess that I can't determine any differences between both shown Connies in terms of originality of the dials. Does that mean that both are badly redialed?

    Cheers,
    Winny

    Thank you for pointing that out. It is easily seen when compared to an original.

    That's because it's the same watch.

    You done well, you picked them Both as redials. That’s a plus ;)
