looking at buying this vintage 2451-6
but the furniture looks like it may have been removed/refinished? is that particularly bad? also the case back engraving style seems to be quite a bit different than other examples I have seen. the marker at 2 and 5 both seem to overlapping the sub-dial. yet, the 7 and 10 are not. also some minor spacing/symmetry issues. thoughts?

 

Different dial for comparison.

 

Note the misalignment of the tachy scale, e.g. at "80" and "90".

 

Hi there,

Interesting points being made, as far as I am aware these are all traits of a 2451 dial but it's pretty difficult to find nice ones for comparison, here are a couple, and a 2907 that has the same marker traits with an overlap.

Not much to add about the case back, conforms with other examples I have seen.

I will leave it at that and withdraw the watch tomorrow if anyone thinks this is a genuine problem. Cheers.

One more example

That's good research. All of those dials look pretty sloppy, but at least it seems unlikely that they were all re-dialed the same way.

 

Thanks @Sharp . These pics look pretty consistent with your listing.

 

IMO the dial is perfectly fine as is the rest of the watch

 

Watch is sold. Conversation is over. All is good. We are all happy.
