    Seller says its dial is factory-original. Is this for real?

    VERY unlikely with those gold date wheels.

    No, that probably isn't the original finish. Be aware that some sellers will call it an original dial if the round slab of metal is the one that came with the watch, despite it being repainted. That particular watch probably had a beige/gold linen finish before it was redialed.

    VERY unlikely. That seller (I recognize the picture setup) is a well-known (and not particularly careful) refinisher. You'd be hard pressed to find half a dozen original dials among all of his offerings

    There's the problem. No swans, no original dial. :p
