Dial has been redone quite poorly, hard pass

I'm no expert either but redials like this one become easy to spot with a little practice. The lettering is uneven and inaccurate. Also, this movement dates back to circa 1949-50 and shows obvious and considerable wear. Ask yourself: How could the dial look almost brand new, other than the indices and hands, which have been polished but still show wear? As I said in your previous posts, dials that fresh and clean in a watch that old are all but non-existent. Enameled dials, if they are not chipped or cracked, might look that clean. Painted ones, very rarely.
