my real concern is the vertical space between the dial and its chapter ring on its 12 o’clock side. what does it imply?
Less. I wouldn't buy it with dial in that condition personally, but how much less is a matter of opinion I guess...
I wouldn’t buy in this Conditon. Take your time and be willing to pay a premium for one that is in top condition.
Looks original in bas condition as others have also said. From the shadows, it looks like the rehaut has popped off from the dial itself, creating the illusion that the printing is not centred.
