Hello OF, I am considering this 167.005 with a two tone dial. To me it looks correct (dial, case, hands, crown). And it doesn't, to my eye, look like the case had been polished or redial.

Am I missing anything? Was hoping one of the experts could weigh-in.

Thank you, Anthony

The case has obviously been polished, but it's not too bad, IMO.

Should two tone dials have a gold medallion on the caseback?

No, on dog leg lug models if case is SS, medallion is SS.

On your dial, I see the font is too bold, too much serif, the minute markers are too far away from pie pan edges and no sunburst effect.
You should check it carefully with a loupe before you buy.

The minute markers do look inconsistent. Thank you all for your insights. Very appreciated. This particular watch sold pretty quickly to someone else, my hunt continues..
