Black dial Longines chronograph: redial?

Hi everyone,

I’m new to the forum and first time poster.

I have recently stumbled down the Longines chronograph rabbit hole! (wow, what a world!)

I have a puzzle… well it is for me at least! Have you come across this black dial configuration before? I can’t find another one like it. Is it a redial?

Unfortunately I don’t have access to the watch and can’t get the serial number.

The batons at 5, 25, 35 and 55 seem to be floating closer to the centre than other watches like this, plus the batons don’t look aligned/centred with their corresponding minute line.

The hands on the two sub-dials seem to have been switched? Maybe put back on the wrong sub-dial during a service?

Apart from the sub-dials and winged hourglass logo the black dial one seems to roughly match this watch: https://www.watchprosite.com/page-w...just-for-the-pure-pleasure-of-sharing-an-old/

Also, on the 30minute sub-dial there are extra long minute markings at 3, 6 and 9 minutes. I haven’t seen that on many dials apart from this early 1950’s 5966: (https://onlineonly.christies.com/s/...ck-chronograph-wristwatch-ref-5966-343/207758)

Keen for any thoughts you might have!

The quality of the pictures usually correlates with the subsequent disappointment upon purchase.

Yeah, completely understand. I just can't seem to track down another that looks like this... therefore wondering whether it's a redial using spares/getting inspiration from other references?
