·Personally I don’t believe that’s a redial. I suppose it’s conceivable that the crosshairs were added.

·I don't think it has been doctored. Some later Omegas have broken crosshairs and though this one is normally seen with unbroken lines, I wouldn't be surprised to see some sort of variation in later DeVilles.

43 minute mark looks just a little too short

Agree. If the serial is a later one, I think this is likely unusual but original.

·Yeah it is one of closer's watches, biggest seller from Japan, my interest is purely scientific
This is the only other dial angle, I think the 43 minute mark was a crystal fluke, for me the logo looked like it could've been glued, but from this angle it looks good as well, didn't notice it before but from this angle there's something like a water intrusion
Nice to learn about broken crosshairs @ConElPueblo - Thanks
Edit: From this angle the minute marks are exceeding the indices, another flag but I don't know if it matters since it's potentially an unusual dial variation

I can't imagine imagine the amount of work involved to do that properly? On a cheap seamaster...
I mean, there are lots of reasons to be a little cautious or even paranoid in the watch world. But that dial looks right to me. Most defects are from the beat up crystal imho.

··Keeps his worms in a ball instead of a can.If that a redial I want to hire whoever did it.
the only thing that flags is the hour hash on the date window.
normally added crosshairs don’t perfectly gap the fonts and are placed under the applied logos.
