    There's something bugging me about the dial...The star seems a bit pushed off centre. And I've never seen a two tone-ish dial with these color (white on white?). Does the font look OK to you guys? Mostly when I've seen crosshairs, it intersects just to the left of the first "L" in constellation, whereas this one is further left, closer to the "E".

    Lume also doesn't have the orange tinge I would expect with aged radium. Has it been re-lumed?


    I'm not interested in purchasing, just wondering if you guys disagree for learning purposes.

    Also, the caseback obviously isn't the best...

    MOY looks good but the star would be bugging me.

    The script has been very well done but the dial has that lifeless "new" look which just sings out "wrong!" for no obvious reason.

    Disagree on MOY: "O" is crossed on the left side

    Here’s a 2852 with same dial layout for reference. Note where the line crosses the star compared to OP. Also the line should pass slightly to the right of “O” on MOY while OP passes to the left.

    The vertical crosshairs is also much closer to the end of than Rasputin's example

    I knew about the MOY but failed to notice it was to the left of the "O". And yeah, the reason why I posted is that the font wasn't obviously off although also didn't seem perfect either. Thank you all for the feedback, helps me get my bearings when it comes to identifying redials
