Bachmann has an excellent reputation as far as I know. All other parts of the dial seem to be good to my eye - including many particulars that a redial very rarely gets right.

Also, the background layer of the dial seems evenly aged in all its parts, including immediately near the logo.

Although the graphics of the logo is not perfect , it seems to me an original, good looking dial. Or a very very good redial by a master.

IMHO, and always ready to learn.

Unlike Franco (above), I have no real expertise in these models, although I have seen many mint/NOS examples from the late José Carlos Saldanha collection. So, FWIW, I am not completely comfortable with the dial shown by the OP. Aside from what is shown above, and others on the seller's site, the quality of the "tail" on the 4, and apparent overlapping of the line into the sub-dial in this photo, make me queasy.

Also, the numerals on the sub-dial do not strike me as being as consistent as what would be expected of a factory original...

Someone on OF once posted about the 55 test (forgot who it was). I'm not sure this one does pass it because they do not seem to be identical (and what about that 2 falling into the subdial)

The “invasions” in the subdials think are unequivocal. Of course admit I was wrong, Omega would not let this through quality control.

Whatever this is and whoever sells it as original, I would not touch that Dial with a large pole ....
