Hi

Found in a local website the followed Constellation Omega with 'shark teeth' indices. I am not interested in buying but out of curiosity would like to know what you think about its dial conditions.

To me overall appearance of

dial (lacquer, ink print, etc...) is not consistent with signs of wear on case. By the way font type although convincing but to my neophyte eyes seems uneven in regard with height and the lack of ink emboss.

I'm not seeing any pictures. Edit: I see it now, and agree looks like a redial. In addition to your observations, the boundary of the minute track is wonky.

Not sure if it is just the angle of the photo. But the alignment of the cross hair looks strange:

The printing also looks a bit heavy.

Redial. Just the alignment of the minute track alone is enough to suggest this.

Redialed + wrong hand type.

And to me, cross hair thickness must that of an elephant, not that of a swiss mousse !

And irregular spacing between the "Swiss Made" letters... would my 3 years old grand child have done better ?

Definitely a redial and the issues don’t stop there. Avoid…

This is a redialed, font size of “Automatic” appear to be larger than the rest. Crosshair too thick.

I am not an expert in the "art" of spotting redials and i try to learn this but for this one there were many signs to sugest the redial. Thank you.

It's a re-dial with incorrect hands... I guess the important thing is to be warned and, if you like it, pay the right price... IMO
