·I'm a newbie, but this dial of a 168.005 looks original, am I right?
(I see the crown is wrong.)

··Purrrr-veyor of luxury cat box loungersIt’s either an .004 or .010.
Due to the two tone dial probably the former.
Dial looks correct but marked.
This reference would originally have had a hidden crown - but they are no longer available - this Crown is one of the options for a replacement crown.

I think this is just a slight imperfection, but in the absence of other red flags it alone does not indicate the dial has been re-painted. Your thoughts?

··Purrrr-veyor of luxury cat box loungersI see what you say about the minute haches at the top and the bottom of the dial.
The haches on these hidden crown Constellations pie pan dials are usually noticeably closer to the pie pan edge than on other pie pans.
The ones at the bottom do drift away from the edge on this example.
However, the rest of the dial and script look correct (although better images would help) so I think in this instance it's a conformity issue rather than a sign of a redial.

··Purrrr-veyor of luxury cat box loungersI have an .010 pie pan that drifts very slightly around the 2-5 area whereas the rest of the haches are pretty much hard up against the pie pan edge.
Not as pronounced as the OPs example though.
