    Hi everyone,
    Just hoping someone can help on deciding if everything is all good on this watch that got offered to me. Crown's not original but not too sure about everything else. Price seems reasonable at AU$450 so it's making me think there's something off about it.
    Thanks in advance!

    Please wait for a second opinion, but based on the fonts for 'automatic' - the top of that 'a' should be flat - I'm pretty sure the dial is refinished; its also hard to be sure with photos, but I'd suggest those hour markers are supposed to have onyx black inserts. I'd avoid.

    Dial is refinished.

    Hour figures should have a black finish with silver ends. This should also be a T SWISS MADE T DIAL, the lume plots are missing from the ends of the figures where there is now a black tick mark.

    This is a later Constellation...the markers would have been painted not onyx but I believe you're right Mothra, they should be black. Looking at the Constellation font I'm a little skeptical too, might be a redial.

    Thanks for the input guys! I was confused why there was no black markers there. But i didn't catch the "A" in automatic! good one.

    Marker at 7 seems to be misaligned as well.
    Or is it the minute hand that causes this effect?

    I think that's probably an optical illusion. But I'm immediately suspicious that there's something horribly wrong with the 'c' in constellation.
