Case back looks fine, one caveat the serial number is quite early and it seems the square pusher doesn’t fit the serial number (I will look at some reference and update again). The dial though definitely has the word universal and compur repainted, subdial also looks repainted. I would avoid just for the repainted dial.

So this seller is not reliable and lies outrageously when he says "Quadrante originale, non ristampato, in ottime condizioni, mostra solo una leggera patina del tempo e delle piccole ossidazioni, e ha un sapore piacevolmente vintage" ?
I tought that this guy was honest... 👎
Well there seems to be part of the dial that is original, how shall I put it, there are touch ups on the letterings in the middle and on the subdials while the rest is left untouched....
The dial of the OP is is indeed original, NOT reprinted. The 2 sub-dials have been (partially) refinished (the left one especially not very well).
IMHO also the central writing "COMPUR" is completely original and untouched. The writing "Universal Geneve" MIGHT have been touched up, but I would not be 100% sure. let's say 90% sure and only marginally touched up.
I know people will disagree with me....so be it 😉
