·I vote redial. Also polished and tired. Unattractive watch.

··Oooo subtitles!Deffo redial. Lots of tells, the star, the text, the lack of definition at the scalloped sides, lack of minute ticks etc etc.

·Most folks here would prefer to know upfront why you are asking about a watch. If you are looking to buy it, or if you are just curious. You stated in an earlier post that you aren’t looking to buy many of the watches that you are posting, which is fine of course, but let us know if this is for discussion or if you need help. I’m glad you are enjoying this hobby so much 👍

I inevitably will make another purchase as I blatantly have the bug, but I'm just not confident or knowledgeable enough to commit at this point. The continued support and advice of OF users on this steep learning curve is as ever greatly appreciated.

·Apologies Dave, point taken. In the case of this post I was really looking for validation of my initial thoughts. It looks like I might be actually learning! I guess there's an element of providing evidence for other amateur members like myself of what to look for, and in this case what to avoid.

Learning curve is definitely crazy steep, so don't be discouraged. I know I almost lost hope during my first months of vintage mania. If somebody posted a new "Is this x watch a re-dial" thread and within minutes there would be a reply from some OF-veteran, just oozing with confidence, "yep, a re-dial, move along", I used to get borderline pissed off, wondering how can these mofos know everything? 😁 It just takes a lot of time to obtain some basic knowledge and develop a gut feeling for vintage watches, that's all. Your purchasing confidence grows much faster if you narrow your search to one or two references you aim to know inside and out.

·100% redial.
All the text is wrong.
The pie pan edges are too soft. These edges are sharper on original dials.
Minute track is absent.

·The OP is definitely a redial and I think, and I highlight the word think, the one above may be a redial as well, although not a bad one, the n's in constellation are not quite right, the Swiss Made too far apart, and the font just not as crisp. Below is my own which is not a redial and what I use for reference. If I am wrong I am sure someone will correct me, every day is a school day after all.

Just out of interest, do Connies come with both (excuse the terminology) 'flat' & '3D' stars? I've seen evidence of both. The star on your watch appears quite flat whereas many look 3D as per attached pic.
Like you say, every days a school day 📖

there are large stars and small stars but no flat applied metal stars on 50s and 60s Connies.
