·Hello,
Keen for any help/advice please on whether this dial is just too clean looking to be original, i.e. been refinished, or am I overthinking it...
First off, there is no patina that I can see. I guess it could have been kept in a drawer all this time...
And I might be starting to hallucinate having zoomed in so much, but this 7414-1... are some of the batons not centred quite right with the minute markers (e.g. 10 and 40), does the L for Longines not have a long enough tail to the bottom left, and is the black font slightly bolder for the minute numbers than usual?
I've compared to previous sales on OF, where patina is clearly present, the batons look correctly centred etc.

and I can't get those thoughts out of my head...
Grateful for any thoughts!
Thanks,
