I find it very acceptable, to be honest 😀
Obviously restored, but not horribly so and probably more than good looking without too much magnification.

·how to determine that's re-finished?
The part that should stand out most to an observer is the crude lettering. It is far from as precise as on an original. The crosshairs are typically a fair bit too thick on restored dials, it is not too bad here, IMO.

·I think it´s an acceptable refinish. The focus on the the first picture, is where "Constellation" is placed and slowly decreasing. The OMEGA logo with text is not in focus, causing a blurred apperance. The price should of course reflect the refinsh.

·And looks the crosshair does not equally across the star?
"wonky star" is not uncommon on original specimens.

·Guys ... you are incredible, I thank you all immensely for the time you have dedicated to me and for the details that you have pointed out to me.
Previously I had already purchased a Constellation Pie Pan with gold case but being a neophyte I had not understood that the dial was of the steel model. From mistakes you learn and I would like the next purchase to be less of an impulse.

··Purrrr-veyor of luxury cat box loungersAh! I see, silver dial furniture.
plenty the other way around ( gold dial furniture on SS case) but not like this one.
still very wearable though.
