·I don't see the difference between the numerals. Bear in mind you are looking thru an old acrylic crystal as well.

·I would be focusing more on the logo printing than the numbers.

··Ωf Jury memberBetter photos would be needed to form a confident opinion, but I suspect that it is original. It is earlier than the one that you used for comparison, and IWC used different dial contractors during different periods. In other words, original dials will show variances in the signatures.
Also, if it were a re-dial, it would be a very old one. And frankly, I doubt very much that an effort would have been made to re-create the reference to the store, the name of which is on dial, or the INCA, which of course was an early reference to Incabloc shock absorbers.
Occam's razor leads me to believe that it is likely original, but if you can provide better photos, please do.

·Thanks everyone for your replies! I do feel more confident now. As for the IWC logo, the seller sent me zoomed in pics and I’m confident it it original. Vintage watch collecting has made me quite anal when it comes to purchasing watches lol.
