    Honestly at this point I wish I originally made an "Is this re-dial?" thread that I could keep posting every dial I see into :)

    For this dial, usually the SWISS MADE spans around 3 minutes in width - so it's between minutes 28 and 32

    But with this dial, it spans only 2 minutes in width, it's mainly between minutes 29 and 31

    This triggered me, but I've seen 1 other example that was like this, it could be that these 2 watches a re-dials from the same source, or maybe this is a rare oddity and the dial is original?

    By the way I stumbled onto an 18K gold 168.017 that had a tiny SWISS MADE like this one, so probably the dial is original

    I don't know why some SWISS MADE's are tiny while same are larger tho ...
