The premise is that, if the 12 index is ‘shaped’, then the 9, 6 & 3 index should also be shaped.
( if there is a 3 index of course)

If the 9,6 & 3 indices are ‘simple’ then the 12 index should be a double version of the simple index.

If you have any examples that you think are exceptions to this rule it would be useful to post them.

Trawling through the 9 pages of the ‘pie pan porn’ thread I came across one similar ‘outlier’ example from 2017 which, in retrospect, has a number of red flags.

Starting by the date windows? Isn’t it weird?

The pic is poor and it is at an odd angle, so it is difficult to assess the watch properly but there are a few odd things including the date window.
The shape of the lugs, the shape of the bezel, the shape and position of the star and of course, the unusual indices arrangement.

BTW, I don’t think we’ll offend the owner by discussing their watch as they haven’t been seen since 2017.

This one for example showing the ones I saw in numbers : so if I follow your "rules", then this is OK, correct ?
12 is the "double" marker of all others, and is not shaped : is that what you mean ?
Thanks in anticipation for your valuable confirmation.

Yup, you’ve got it.

To add to the suspicion, is it just me or do the hands on the OPs watch seem correct yet they don’t quite reach the “pie pan line”?

I will try to return the watch 👍 The seller has not given the right description and it's too many red flags. Here are photos of the bracelet and caseback.

Here is what a genuine 14900 back should look like.

Bracelet is clearly a replica/counterfeit as well.

Do you think the caseback from the OP is a fake as well?

Yes. The stars are a dead giveaway.
