Are they just waiting to see how long it will take for a newbie to buy a redial with no movement pic (and possibly mis-stated size)?
I really like the case though.

I'm still a clueless beginner. What makes it a redial? Font?

 

I am a beginner too, so am happy to be corrected. But some of the signs that stand out to me (besides overall shininess) are:

- The vague boundaries and lack of texture in the sub-dials.
- The blotchiness and lack of definition of the type. Take a look at the terminations of the letter of 'ZENITH' for instance. There isn't a single straight edge there.
- Incorrect numerals for the period. If you look at some better-preserved models, you can see the straight '1', the flat top of the '3' and '4', and the open loop of the '6' for instance.

That's my 2 cents worth. An actual connoisseur could of course point out a whole lot more, and would have a good sense of what an original dial looks like to compare to as well.

 

Not just a redial. Looks like a fake dial to me...but what do I know?

The sub dials are a big give away.

 

Odd Treasures indeed. They have other horrors on sale as well!
