if its a redial its remarkably well done
Your not concerned with the minute track being inconsistent with the pie pan edges?

Maybe it's an effect of the shot angle? The dial is slanting slightly since it's sitting on the dial feet
Look at the above picture, its pretty clear.

I am indeed.
I was actually referring to the fonts but you’re correct with the minute marks.

Looking at the dial through a loupe, the minute tracks 2-3-5 do line up but the other inner track markers are indeed off by varying degrees.

Does this indicate 100% redial or is manufacturing inconsistencies possible?

Curiously…I have just been offered a fully Arabic dialled Constellation

Never, ever seen one before…and so far only seen this example in the images below…however passes MOY test and similar ‘font style’ examples found

Will have a chance to check it, in a couple of weeks…

Am I right that it should be a 167.005 ?

Thoughts anyone ?

The Swiss case reference number for this model should be 168.005. The "8" designates the calendar feature.

Here is a page from a 1967 UK catalog explaining the difference between the two models.

Thank you @gatorcpa …your generosity of time, & apparently limitless knowledge, is always appreciated & valued

A fairly pedestrian RG Constellation then, with the least liked/comfortable of all the BOR bracelets, and a ‘school room clock’ dial

Slightly rare, …but nothing to write home about

Onwards, & upwards !
