    Hi guys,

    Any view on this dial ? Supposedly original and pristine according to the European seller.
    No lume.

    Thanks in advance.

    You've got big radium hands and no lume on the dial, which seems pristine.
    IMHO something is wrong

    It seems a redial, lettering is very plain, graphic is rough, "wide".
    I would vote redial

    "Hey Igor, pass me the LEONIDAS stamp".

    (based on my opinion that a sterile dial has been re-stamped).

    Thanks for the feedback.
    The leonidas logo looks a little suss. A little disappointed.

    This looks like the same dial on another watch which has the dial listed as "original" too....:whistling:
