As I've been looking for Constellation lately I'm seeing lot of crap in eBay.
Maybe they are not the worst, but bad nevertheless.

Are these guys only paying a few dollars for the redial? It's not that difficult to get a redial that at least has a passing resemblance to the original.

Here a good one

The second markings are not equally distanced from the pie pan rim. Otherwise ok, I guess.

Maybe we could benefit from a “good redials” thread that would show the good jobs that have been done. This thread is much fun but you almost get the feeling that a redial will inevitably end up in disaster.

Hi @felsby,

I'm not sure if you will find many who consider any redial good!

Hi @felsby,

I am biased, having bought a redialed 1958 arrowhead Connie myself. To my amateur eyes it is indistinguishable to an original.
Of course the collector value is diminished. I can live with that.

"Up for bidding is my stunning Vintage Seiko Navigator Timer that’s has a very rare dial I have never seen on any other Navigator Timor."


...I'm speechlessly trying to understand 'why'....

A 24-hr movement is indeed a rarity 😀

It’s a GMT. The little red hand rotates about the dial once every 24h. The speechless bit is : the bezel has the adjustable gmt time (1-24h), so why hardcode it on the dial too???? Meth????

Maybe he doesn't know the bezel rotates.

Apologies if this has already been posted, but I really got a kick out of this one. Seller does mention that dial was "professionally refinished."

I have seen worse. Is it a silver or white dial? Where did you find it?
