Longines blingy Tank legit?

Looks like a redial to me. Seems to be missing “Swiss” under the 6 marker.

On a diamond dial like this it is less of an issue than with other watches.

I’m leaning towards redial too, mainly because I find the logo not to be properly centered with respect to the dial signature, and also because I find some of those letters lack definition- but that maybe because the picture is blurry?

I think it’s fair to say the sans-serif signature is most often found without logo.
For an example with a logo, see the very good high res pictures @Kbjohn posted at the end of the thread below.

I also think it’s the first time I see the sans-serif signature with an applied hour glass logo. It might exist but who knows.

I would contend that the presence of "Swiss" is not entirely random. The majority of American-market Longines dials from the 1930s to the 1960s (at least) have "Swiss" printed on them. Judging by its design, this is likely an American-market watch.

If everything about the dial looked correct but "Swiss" was missing, it might be reasonable to conclude that the dial was correct. However, given that "Swiss" appears to be absent, the signature leaves something to be desired, and the condition is essentially perfect, I am inclined towards a redial. I also notice that the sub-dial cross looks misaligned with respect to the second hand.

As mentioned above, Longines did use sans-serif signatures on American-market dials during the period so the font is not so dissimilar to those found on some original dials. Though not entirely comparable, below is another diamond dial that appears to be original. The watch is likely earlier than yours.
