I’ve been offered this and done a bunch of research and can’t find a date version with these indices. These are all the photos I have at present.
I’m also concerned dial has been refinished.
Thanks y’all.

The dial has been portly refinished. It’s a pass.

It takes some time to get familiar with the fonts, but check how the minute markers are positioned with respect to the 12-sided outer track and compare to a good example. They should make a little splayed arc within each segment and should stay entirely within the inner part of the dial, not extending into the outer section. Redials often don't do this correctly.

And the fonts will not appear to be Sharpied on if it were authentic.

Did they try to pass it off as a Pie Pan, too?

Lol, I had a feeling nearly everything was off on this one. The asking was $1,000.00 if anyone needs a further chuckle.

This watch was in a shop window in a part of town I never go to and was only in because I had to go to the OMV to renew my driver's license and the shop was below the OMV in the strip mall; I can't not pass by a window with a vintage watch in it and at least not check it out.

And the star should be applied straight, just to pile on further.....😁

theres nothing right about the watch. For 1k range, you can look up Constellation Dogleg case with the dome dial or some good C-shape with bracelet.
