·Hi all,
Here is a 1930's 31mm 26.5 with a sector dial. After seeing this watch in person, I am seeing some things that don't look correct (and that I should have noticed on seller's photos). This is looking like a re-dial to me, but would like opinions from the experts. Due to the smaller size of the case, these are not noticeable with normal viewing, but the price reflected mint condition/unadulterated. Please let me know what you think, thanks in advance!!
Photo #1: you can see that the distance between the hour markers and the inner circle is not consistent. The distance is quite different for the 12 and 3 markers (in red), and same for the 1 and 4 markers (blue).
Photo #2: there are "gaps" in the minute track where the hour markers were applied (red arrows). Additionally there is some smudge of the minute track near 12 o'clock (blue arrow).
Photo #3: lastly, the hour markers are not centered on the minute track lines for 7 of the markers
