Hobnail: a short heavy-headed nail used to reinforce the soles of boots.

Sorry now know it’s a hobnail dial think the seller made a typo error
Do you think it worth considering as a purchase

Would need to see the condition of the gold cap (I assume it’s capped). I love these dials but I don’t love the salmon patina, but that’s just personal preference.

I'm the opposite and really like the salmon dial, I find it combines well with the gold. As for the OP's watch, the dial looks to be in very good shape, so as has been said if the gold filled case has stood the test of time well then it's a decent buy.....depending on the price of course!
