Re-dialled

A dial that has been refinished, repainted or reprinted rather than conserved.

Explanation

Re-dialled means the dial has been refinished, repainted or reprinted. Quality varies enormously, from factory-standard restoration to obvious fantasy work. Compare fonts and layout with documented originals where possible, and note that an honest description states the redial rather than hiding it.
