I was wondering if y’all think this is an original dial or a redial. The centering (or lack thereof) on the subdials is a bit troublesome but other movados seem to have the same issue. Perhaps it just watch tech in the 1950s isn’t the same as it is today. The text on the dials is crisp and the fonts are matching.

Two of three subdials being slightly off center in different ways is not expected.

Oh maybe because the M90 uses only the top two subdials these watches were printed in a two-step process since the top two are off in the same direction.

I'm going to venture fairly deep into the weeds and say this: why would the (black) minute index on the outer track above the red 5 be triangular, while all of the others appear to be squared off?

There is no way to be absolutely sure on this one, but my gut feeling is that it is a good re-dial, polished and prepped for sale, with repainted hands, etc. I just don't love the quality of the printing and the texture of the sundials. It's not something I would personally take a chance on based on the overall appearance.

It is square. I am taking these photos with my iPhone on 5x zoom and the compression is making some artifacts I think

OK, post some good photos and maybe some other members will take a look. I've spent my time on it. In general, the quality of the responses will be no better than the quality of your photos, so next time try to put your best foot forward from the start.

Yes, it does appear to have been an artifact.

The embossed digits look sharp; I vote original
