Misaligned OMEGA in Pie Pan Connie

dra43b · Jul 28, 2020

I found this pie pan connie and noticed the A from OMEGA is not aligned.

I thought of it as a redial first but when I looked online I saw the similar issue in other listings:

Is this a manufacturing defect or are all of the above photos redialed?

Note: I also noticed the hands in the 1st photo has unfilled space in the middle part. Is that the lume falling out?

The third is a redial. While the A is a bit odd on the first two, it isn’t concerning IMO. They both have a similar dial configuration too so maybe just a quirk of his batch of dials?

Yes, missing lume.

Or a cack-handed watchmaker cleaning the dial during service.

They didn’t leave the factory like that, ergo some intervention has occurred.

Thanks everyone for your inputs. That misaligned A is really bothersome. Lol
