·I believe it is not NOS case looks very polished, what is the ref ? It may have wrong crown too.
The crown could easily just be the wrong replacement but there is something just ‘not quite right’ about the watch.
The fonts are wrong and there is no reason for a lume dot at 3 when it’s a non-lume watch.
The case could be polished but in fact it looks altogether a little ‘rounded’.
apologies for criticising your watch @SwissMe - have you got any internal pics of the case back and movement?
A side on shot of the lugs would be useful too.

·Both watches have been professionally redialled. Is this something you asked for when serviced or did you buy them already serviced.

Yes, that one with the lume plot at 3 is quite correct as it has lume on the hands and indices.

sorry, 100% sure redials 🙁
I was just taking a closer look at the dome dial - I’d love to see a hi-res pic of it as it too is a bit of an oddity.
the shaping and arrangement of the font is very good - just it looks serif-less.
However, the finish of the dial is quite rough and most peculiar of all is that it has a modern Omega symbol and slim Omega applied lettering.

·Bought them separate. The dome from, so he told me the first owner. From austria.
The pie pan from a german uhrenforum collegue. He told me, he bought it from the origin owner.
To be honest, I am a little supprised...
Will post better pics later.

Unfortunately, it was common practice to have dials redone at service, so your sellers could have been quite genuine about buying them from first owners.
however, if they claimed that they were all original then they either lacked knowledge or were less-than-scrupulous sellers.
To be fair, they are both quite neatly done and could easily be overlooked by someone who sells watches but doesn’t specialise in Connies.
