    A WUSOF sale thread provided the following example of an "original dial" that looks quite cringeworthy to my eyes:

    That's not an "e", it's a "c".

    It's hard to tell, because of the position of the minute hand, if this passes the MOY test.

    Wow. I don't know what's more impressive. The script, the pimped bezel, or the inch-thick spray painting that has left such fine definition on the pie pan edges... ?

    It's unfair to list this as a redial, but I didn't know where else to put it. It did have very nice, very very early 50s (maybe late 40s?) fonts and dauphine hands. Unusual coffin shaped markers. The case looks a little small by today's tastes.

    And then we have the seller's tragic tale:
