·I leave it to others to confirm originality of the dial. But for sure the case and caseback are heavily polished, which makes it less attractive.
Also bear in mind that the seller is in Turkey, you'd have to pay import tax into the EU for instance

·Hi Franz. Apart from the already commented polished case, I think this is a redial.
People here have seen much worse in terms of font and printing, but a few things raise a red flag for me:
- the edges of the piepan lines not being sharp
- Swiss Made (like you mentioned) font appearently being too thick and well off center ("Swiss" seems to be further away from 6 than "Made"). Perhaps the seller didn't provide any centered shot to prevent people from spotting this?
- inconsistent minute marking
My 2 cents...
Not the same reference, but a piepan dial with Onyx markers inside a ref. 14902 I got a while ago:

·Definitely a redial. In addition to what Rudi points out the script is not very good. There are little inconsistencies in the letters, the tops of the 'T's, the the lettering in the script in "Constellation" is slightly off. There's a lot of little details that add up to big problems.
