    Hmm...

    It would take a bloody good redialler to get those serifs that good, especially on a waffle dial, but the MOY is a little out.

    I have read there are some models where the MOY test doesn't fully apply.

    The the Swiss made has no T's, which is correct as there's no tritium.

    Then there's the genuine Omega crystal.

    I'll take a punt and say I think it's all good...will I crash and burn for it??

    I'm not much of a Connie guy, but something about the applied logo and "omega", the "u" in automatic, the 2 "n"s in Constellation and the hidden crystal logo seem off to me. I could be very wrong, though.

    Didn't we just discuss these fonts? I think it's okay but wait for the other guys to chime in.

    * clue to the finding the thread: Seamaster chronometers were also mentioned as having this same font.

    I think it's original.

    Looks original to me, although it think it has been cleaned.

    I believe I found the mentioned thread, and re-educated! It's just that that applied logo looks so "unrefined", but after seeing a few other examples, I see now how that could be. Thanks ULF.

    In your opinion, does this detract any value?

    I would prefer an original dial that has been professionally cleaned, than moldy and dirty ones.
