    Hi,

    just found this beautiful Angelus chrono at a local watchmaker.
    Thinking to pull the trigger as I miss a Angelus movement in my collection until now.
    Hands, movement & case are all OK, but I´m not 100% sure about the dial.
    It looks gorgous, but so clean that it makes we wonder if it has been redone.

    Would appreciate to hear some experts opinion.
    Sorry about the blurry pics.

    Here is a poor example sold by Catawiki some times ago.
    Outer Base 1000 ring is a bit closer to minute scale, but the rest looks quite the same.
    Angelus service dial?

    Here is a black one with open space between Base 1000 and minute track...

    And an old Angelus ad showing similar dial & outer rings

    @LouS Hi LouS, I would be glad to hear your opinion about the Angelus dial. Original or redial? Thanks!
