SWISS made printing missing on a Constellation

Hi Forum
Saw a Constellation 2852-10 SC.
But missing the Swiss made sign.
Have done some search and have not found any identical one.
Will you consider its repainted or It’s normal?
Thank you.

The dial has been refinished poorly.

Normally we suggest people post good comprehensive photos of watches to get advice, but in this case, just looking at the positions of the minute marks and at the rounded edges of the pie-pan dial make the situation absolutely clear. The wonky star is just the cherry on top.

As long as you didn't buy it, you're already ahead of the game.

This watch doesn’t fit in with the laughable examples in that thread.

If you are interested in Constellations then you need to study what is correct, so that you don’t get burned.
E.g. the Constellation script on this watch is wrong but could easily fool the uninitiated.

However, a @Dan S said you already did the right thing by asking because you weren’t sure - now all you need to do is learn.
