Looks original / not re-dialed to me, if so, the font painting is educative, as it's pretty imperfect:

If this one is original too, I guess they made pretty unique dials for 168.025:

I'm mainly trying to educate myself on dials, in the first photo, the C and last n of Constellation seems very imperfect to me, but if it's original, I guess on rare materials, these rare imperfections are original too

There are some very interesting dial variations on the 168.025. I don't think these are redialed to any great extent - at least not very well - so this one I would guess is correct.

I would be very wary of the brown dialled watch. Not because it is a redial (IMO, dial is original), but because it looks to have had some serious water intrusion.

The lack of paint on the markers and granular texture of the dial are giveaways.

The glued-on indices aren't a great look either.

Thanks a lot for the feedback, insight

I'm genuinely not a buyer, however I find the dials and fonts fascinating

And if they left me on an island for a month with this photo, I'd probably not spot the glued on indices, my hats off to you sir
