Is this a redial?

 

yes and a bad one

 

and is it me or is that star not aligned correctly?

 

why? what are the tell-tale signs?

 

Not sure on redial. The star is not aligned that is not good. Swiss made is to high, especially the MADE part. Automatic lettering is a bit small.

 

to me the minute markers seem off, maybe is just the picture but the ones between the two and three hour markers seem very bad... the rest of the print seems off....

 

We've seen wonky misaligned stars on original dials before.

 

yes sure on redial it is one

 

Automatic letters to small.
Swiss made to high especially made part

 

Canberra what ref is this one?

 

Good question. You tell me.....

 

Yes. I think.

Fails MOY, text is too thick and of a poor quality.

Minute markers have varying thickness and out of line in places.

 

Also I believe the minute markers should sit on the edge of the pie pan, right where the texture of the dial changes.

 

168.005?

 

You have to tell people if it's screw or snap back.

 

No, that one came a few years later (1962-ish) and has bent (dog leg) lugs. This is a 50's watch.

 

This is where I admit I don't know! THat is the only photo of the watch I have.

 

cal 504 then?

 

ref 2652-2 SC This is non date version

 

Looking for date one
