    Hey guys,


    Can someone have a look and confirm if this is an original or redial? Cheers :)

    Looks like it was cleaned a little too aggressively, but the fonts seem correct. Tough to be sure from that picture or any of them in the listing.

    Looks like someone who had no idea what they were doing took that watch apart and left their fingerprints/oils all over the dial. If it has been there for too long it will turn into those blackish marks and is usually impossible to remove without taking the rest of the dial printing with it.

    There's a reason watchmakers handle parts with tweezers, finger cots, and yes sometimes, clean fingers.
