·On the one you first posted, the logo, subdial, outer, and inner tracks all have incorrect print.
If you compare each element of the second example to the first, you will see that there are differences

··Ωf Jury memberToo white, too bright. You are unlikely to ever find original dials from that period (other than enamel) that haven't changed color - even if they have been kept in a safe. And when you see a disparity like that of the corroded second hand, it is all that you need to walk away.
When dials are consistent in terms of patina with the rest of the parts of the match, then you need to dig deeper (i.e. fonts, etc.).

OP watch ... not a bad redial. Some care and craft went into it. It’s very hard to find these dials. To list it as original is obviously a no no.

··not the sharpest pencil in the ΩF drawerRemember that a low price is mostly a reflection of the quality of a watch

·At 4500 Euros, the watch is not low priced...
If you are patient, you can find a much better original example for that price or even lower.

·It seems like most in the $5,000 or less range are either suspicious or in pretty rough shape. I’ve seen what look like good examples in the $6-7k range. There are some in the 8-10k range but they seem to be a little overpriced. Does that all seem about right?

·If there is currently no nice watch available at a good price, doesn't mean, that it is not possible to find one.
These watches were sold last year for about 4000 Euros or less:

·Quite a few choices out there ... different references too. But while you get what you pay for don’t expect 2017 pricing

·To bring it back to the OP watch
I must ask the group here
1) Are there any original 30CH examples with that red and blue track combo that do NOT have the applied logo? (note: of course some 30CH exist without the applied logo - I am asking specifically about the commonly seen "blue and red" track dials)
2) Are there any original 13ZN or 30CH examples with the hash marks on the right subdial like the OP watch has? I do not remember ever coming across across one.

·@DirtyDozen12 - thank you! But the 30CH examples with that red and blue track combo that do NOT have the applied logo - do those exist only for the larger cases or also in some of the smaller ~35mm cases too?
