    Hello all,

    I have recently seen a Constellation with the word Calendar below the star with Constellation above the star. I have never seen this configuration before. The dial looked OK apart from that.

    Has this ever been right?

    Thanks in advance.

    Picture please! It's the only way to tell if the fonts are correct, and we'll know what case reference it is (which makes it easier to tell if correct or not).

    Thanks Dennis. Waiting for pictures but thought I'd ask if it has ever been known while I'm waiting. I've never seen it. The one pic I have isn't good enough to see any detail. When I get the higher res pics I'll post them.

    Have got better pictures and unless Omega have forgotten how to spell Calendar I vote redial! :)

    Could be that for some reason someone has added Calender under the star on a genuine dial. It would explain the positioning I suppose but a bit strange. The quality of the rest of the lettering doesn't look quite right to me either though.

    What do you think?

    Whole thing is a redial. Inking is seriously uneven and positioning is off.

    Yep, total redial.

    That was the original, this is the remake, 2012, staring Colin Farrell.

    The misspelling is a dead giveaway!
