    Hi.
    I'm about to buy a connie but have a question regarding the dial. Is this dial authentic to the SS case?

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the quick reply.
    What tells do you see that makes it a redial? The bracelet wasnt I aware of, will have a closer look.. To me it looked fine?!

    Wrong fonts, T swiss T for non tritium dial, cross hairs not travelling completely through the star, etc...

    There has been much written about Constellations, here is an extremely good place to start an education:

    Case and movement are real. Dial has two T's for tritium, but there is none on the hands or on the dial.

    The watch is good for parts only. I know who markets these fake dials in the US, and I detest them.
