    So I have a couple of problems with these two dials. As you can see the font is quite thick. It's not IWC-ish which normally is more subtle. Also the lines and curves of the text seems a bit off. Problem is you see a bit of inconsistency with IWC concernig fonts and text. Anyway, last picture is one of mine which I believe is a genuine IWC dial. What do you think of the first two dials? Repainted or original?

    First 2 dials are redialed for sure. The last one look like "automatic" has been re-printed.

    I don't like those two dials, I'd stay away.

    U can message the seller, "closer", for confirmation. They are a Japanese shop and they do not misrepresent.

    There was a Constellation I was interested in but the A in the lettering was weird, i messaged them and they told me it has been redialed.
