Hello everybody. I would like some advice on this Revue. It looks completely genuine to me, even the dial is not reprinted in my opinion. Consistent crown and spheres. What do you think about it?

Definitely original, and in unusually good, "unmolested" condition.

Thanks for the reply. I consulted some historical photos of the Revue and in some cases the AUTOMATIC writing is in lower case. Could that be a problem?

You can ask for more photos of the dial to understand what's actually an imperfection and what's just some weird lighting artifact.

There are typically variations in vintage watch dials. Nothing about the one that you have posted suggests other than it being original, and here is another example with upper case lettering:

Di solito ci sono variazioni nei quadranti degli orologi vintage. Nulla di quello che hai pubblicato suggerisce se non che sia originale, ed ecco un altro esempio con lettere maiuscole:

Fine original watch.

Is the index at 9 a bit strange? It doesn't seem centered. It's also closer. See the comparison with the index at 3 o'clock. Should I be concerned about the genuineness of the dial?

If the photo was taken at a slight angle, it could create that illusion. The indices are embossed, so there is no chance that they are not original.

Several members, with a combined post total of >15,000, have told you that the dial is original. There are going to be imperfections on almost every vintage dial of that age.
