    Wondering whether this is a redial or not and whether its a matching crystal?

    The dial is a little obscured by the scratched crystal but I would say that one looks original.

    Agree second one looks ok.

    It would be worth putting forward your own thoughts and opinions when asking for help.

    Thanks. I did think it was implicit in the title but I was probably a little vague. My thought was that the N looked suspect on the font on the dial, and I hadn't seen that crystal configuration before, so alarm bells were ringing!

    The crystal configuration was an option.

    Newbie here, gonna practice my observation skills (seriously, all y'alls eye for the details can really be astonishing).

    Anyway, first pic - shouldn't there be a "T Swiss Made T" given the tritium on the hands? Also, it may be obscured by the window, but after the date window, should there not be a small remnant of the hour marker?

    Also, I got one of the late calibre 751 models with the new script 'N'.

    How do we know we are looking at the original hands? Given its a redial all options are open.
    At the 3 position there should be either a lume plot or a minute marker depending on the dial.

    Thanks for the hint. It's an excellent point: if one suspects tampering of one component, then all components become suspect.

    As a noob that it is a redial is not a 'given' to my eyes. I do not have any expertise, and would not even close to being able to say so based on the example above. So it is helpful to work backwards from the hands to draw a conclusion on the dial.

    Take three. The upper text on this drew my attention, I thought the 'M' looked a little odd. s-l1600 (7).jpg

    As a sidenote, this is a config (minus the cyclops date window) that I'd really like to buy!

    Hands are probably replaced. They have lume but I can't see any on the dial and no "T"s with Swiss made.

    Which means the rule is for those lumed hands that there's a Swiss made T? Thanks for reply.

    That's what I thought until I started looking at more of these C cases.
    If you look through this recent thread you see lots of dials without T's but lumed hands/dials
