    Hello all.

    Looking around for my first Chronograph and found these one.
    Tissot, seller claims that the hands has been repainted. But, I feel the dial looks odd, to clean.
    Oh, maybe it is just me, after reading all the post about franked/fake/redials I am getting a bit paranoid.
    Or, what do you say?

    Better walk away?

    Thanks for helping.

    At the very least it has been relumed, those dots on the dial should have a completely different tone. Not sure about the rest of the watch, but I think that these are normally with lumed numbers, not dots. I would probably guess at it being a redial due to the difference in the subdials; the lines seem to be of different thickness - but it's very well done, if so.

    How much is the seller asking?

    Here's mine, a cousin to yours:

    Save up and buy an all original one, in better condition, and not refinished as that one

    Quite expensive, even if it had had an original dial...
