Hi all.
In an auction site there's for sale this nice 2852 with arrowhead makers.
In the description it is stated that the dial has not been reprinted.
However, I am quite doubtful.
What is your kind opinion, please?

Redial for sure. Ref. 2852 dials have “Chronometre” spelling. Hands not correct either.

Seller is either ignorant or trying to deceive.

Here’s the same watch with an original dial in the typical condition you will encounter in the wild.

Thank you very much.
In fact I didn't notice the spelling.
Good to know.

I think there are some late examples with “Chronometer” but the “Officially certified” disappears.
