Think these are re dials, seller hiding the truth?

Definitely a redial. I think so because the 43rd minute marker is off and the wording at the top of the dial is just off in terms of spacing. I'm still new to spotting redials. To others in this thread: is my reasoning for why it's a redial correct?

And note the "100%" positive feedback. Very comforting.

This is one of the reasons I don't buy watches off eBay. It's way to easy for someone to juice their feedback by selling a lot of things that aren't watches and by taking advantage of uneducated buyers who aren't looking for expensive watches. I'm assuming if this seller tried to sell a Daytona or a Speedmaster with a redial, they wouldn't be able to get away with it as easily because people looking for watches in this price points are probably a bit more experienced and don't fall for that kind of thing.

Yes, experience is the key.
There's a lot of good stuff on ebay, if you know very well what you're going to buy.

If something looks like a dog, it's probably a dog. If you don't like the look of the stuff in the shop window, you don't go in.

What's the odds that "Emma Sumner" has just had a dozen or so views which wouldn't have happened but for one man's curiosity?

Not only a redial, but also a badly done one I must say

Everybody is saying redial. I think that's very much the case as well. Because there's little feedback why, I'd like to give it a go where I see the flaws. I'm a complete noob at watches (just started the whole thing very recently) and I'd like to improve my skills. So please correct me if I see things wrong or if I missed things:

- What's with the "1" in the 15? That looks weird, no?
- looking to the minute markers, some of them are obviously thicker where there's no reason for it. (already mentioned)
- Kind of mentioned, but how to spot a reprint / repaint? Is it because the printing is too thick? Ffor sure on "Constellation", I'd say.
- Hands reems to be off, like already mentioned.
