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..

Not sure what it sold for, but was listed for a little over $2,600
