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.

 

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!

 

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.

 

Ah, thanks. I still got much to learn

 

I'm Offially lost for words....

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."

Impressive. Offecially.

 

Hilarious. Belongs in the fakes section too but someone else who can’t spell.

 

Ruined 14393 with arrowhead is one of my grails.

 

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