Hi!
Can someone tell me if this dial is legit? Ive only been able to find similar dials but with the off-center second. Watch is said to be from around early 50's.

I would say that the text has been retouched. It looks a bit heavier than I would expect - but I would need better photos to make a better evaluation.

Some of these waffle dials had a much heavier font.. this one of mine is in that category although it doesn’t show as heavy in photos. Surprisingly similar dial to the OPs..

Thank you so much for that image, clearly shows that the design itself is legit and not something made up i China. I was a bit worried since Ive never seen that dial before.
As for the font, it shifts a bit depending on what angle im looking at. I agree it tend to look somewhat towards the "fattier" side.
Did you see the close up I added? The shape of the G had my concern but they seem similar in both our pictures I think.

Here is a better pic I took today in daylight, proobably the most clear pic I can do right now because of dust on the inside of the plexi. I dont know what the ref. is right now because I lack the guts to open the case up 😀
