Bought this hamilton and I can't foe the life of me decide if it's a redial or original. They did make the tonneau with these black enamel dials however they are very rare and I can't fins another example. To me the Hamilton font looks good for the period so I'm leaning towards original but though I'd ask you all!

My thought is that it is likely original. Many Hamiltons that had radium dial options also had options for the same design with radium replaced by enamel paint. The hands are of a type used by Hamilton, but I am unsure if these are correct for an enamel dial Tonneau.

I was on the fence to be honest but the print quality from that era is typically a bit sharper than what’s shown above.

That's why I was hoping to see a photo of the dial out of the case. I am leaning towards original, but I am not certain.
