    I'd say that this is not a redial. It looks genuine to me.

    The case has been polished, but I wouldn't say it's overpolished.

    The watch looks good to me.

    I would avoid this seller. The description of the watch includes
    Beautiful White Omega Constellation Dial
    Oops.
    If you like the restored look, the are several sellers in South Korea who specialize in it, and they usually admit if (for example) a dial has been restored. Like this:

    Thank you.

    Can you spot anything wrong on the OP's watch?

    It could just be bad photos but this color should be a sunburst dial. Even with extreme blowup it looks pretty flat.

    ::facepalm1::

    @OMEGuy Can you point me to any other Constellation with a gillete mirror blue dial like this? :thumbsdown:


    These Montre48 people are clowns who shill bid their own watches at auction so it appears that it is actually worth a few hundred dollars. Run away from this POS.

    I think the dial is original (based on the listing photos).
    It's a well known style and a couple have been owned by members here (@gatorcpa and Dennis and Daniel).

    The way this seller presents photos often hides flaws, and in some cases, hides the actual texture of the dial.

    All that said, I wouldn't buy from them.

    Sry wrong answer.

    It’s a vividlily alt account. One of the older ones actually. High quality redial out of Korea.

    Signature background.

    I have to say I'm quite ashamed of my own Korean brethren ::facepalm2:: even if the quality might be pretty good...be a honest seller...I apologize on their behalf.

    I checked past auctions. You are absolutely correct. Shill bids abound. You would think Ebay would police better than that.

    It's pretty rampant on Ebay. Often you see zero rated bidders winning at the last minute when the price is low for the item.
