·Also, the hour markers at 5 and 6 aren’t straight - they don’t meet the minute markers in the middle.
Is it possible that the case was so heavily polished that the underlying metal becomes visible between 4 and 5?

·I asses the watch as genuine, with a replaced second hand. The case is in used condition, propably polished, but still well preserved. The slightly misaligned indexes and minute markers can be seen quite often on Constellations.

··Purrrr-veyor of luxury cat box loungersThe pics aren’t really good enough to be sure but I’d hazard a guess that this is original too. (Not the seconds hand)
The printing quality isn’t first class and I would put that down to the dial manufacturer.
I can see why you might think the cross hair is added because it appears to follow the bumps on the dial but this could be natural degradation and/or crystal distortion.
only better pics would tell.
The ‘worn through‘ gold cap looks like reflections to me but the case is very heavily polished and the lugs have lost their facets.

·I agree with @Peemacgee that better picutres are needed and there might be 'issues' that could be caused by crystal issues.
One additional thing regarding the cross hair:
on 6 and 12 it goes past the minute markers
on 9 it doesn't seem to:

Something not quite ringing true with this dial.
