Hello all.

Curious to see what the group thinks about this dial. A bit "messy" where the copper inner portion of the dial meets the white surround. The Angelus signature and the numerals look good to me, and I suspect the rest of the dial is original as well. But, the lack of precision in the outer portion of the dial makes me unsure. The other salmon dial Angelus timepieces I have seen are similar, but oddly their other color combinations appear to be a bit more precise.

Thoughts? Thanks!

Darren

I wonder if there is a bezel gone here.

There is a nice Angelus for sale on this forum. Not the same model but a trusted member.

That is a super blurry photo on which to base on opinion about dial originality. That said, I can't see an obvious problem with the dial that couldn't be explained by image artifacts.

Still not a great picture, but this one may show the periphery of the dial a bit more clearly. Still look okay?

Thanks!

I guess the thing that is bothering me the most is the way the inner colored circle doesn't consistently fill the circular outline. It's like the way a child would color in a coloring book. I wouldn't buy it.

Redial IMHO
The logo is also incorrect

Belive that the logo is existing,I’m not shore on the dial in the thread but hands are later replacement and wrong colour.

Yea … I’ve found this logo, so not doubting the dial.

Thanks all. I believe the logo is perfectly fine, as are the numerals and likely the hands. I guess the question is - could the remainder of the dial been redone even if the logo is original.
