    Here is an interesting sale. The dial is for a japanese edition of the 1894 Homage, however notice that the Roman Numeral Markers have been removed and replaced with Alpha Numerals. Probably for some other dial re-manufacture project( you can see the holes on the dial from the old markers.) Also now only says "2" at 12.

    I corrected the colors from eBay to more correct renditions.

    Here is an actual Japanese 1894. Color off on Omega from poor processing.

    In the Seller's defense, he indicates the dial is original, but not the numbers. Legal loophole?

    He also says the dial is in mint condition.

    I've eaten mints that looked worse than that. He didn't say what type of mint he was comparing it to.

    Bored apprentice at Mérusa did a job in his lunch break using bits from the discards bin.

    At least the 4 and 8 could have been put on the right way, he had enough holes to do it.
