    I purchased the following dial for a project Constellation I have but now unsure if it is original or a redial. I would appreciate any thoughts on this. Thanks

    Hi, the serif on the cross bar of second T in Constellation looks quiet large maybe this is just the magnification.

    Really curious what the experts will say about this one

    Looks good to me, but how about showing the entire front of the dial and not such an extreme close-up.

    A photo of the whole dial from the front is needed please

    Looking at the solder marks on the reverse, I’d wager that the applied markers havent been removed, but the real experts can confirm this

    Something quite obvious:
    Different fonts used in "Automatic Chronometer" and "Officially Certified"
    As far as 60ies Connies are concernd I did not see this before

    At best a partial redial IMO.

    Did you receive the missing 5 'o clock marker?

    I think it looks like an original gilt dial, except for the "Officially Certified" text, which is clearly printed and not gilt.

    Perhaps a left over dial updated with the additional text to bring it in line with a revised specification?

    I see nothing to indicate the figures having been removed and replaced.

    That's what I was thinking, as the font looks correct for the later 3-line dials.

    The printing on these dials is typically more even.
