    Hello,
    Can you help me this Jaeger chronograph?

    Do you think the dial is original?

    The typography of the subdials at 3 and 9 don't match, which for me is always a warning sign...

    Could be original. Those are pretty close to correct Universal Geneve fonts and this is a Jaeger-branded Universal. Something does bug me about the inking on the minute subdial. I'd need a closer look to distinguish original from service dial, or very good redial.

    I agree with you about the inking. What was striking me was the inconsistent scale of the figures used on the left and right subdials, which seemed like a red flag.

    The rest is awfully good though.

    The dial was original. I looked at it in the flesh in the parisian shop where it was for sale.

    But any way, the watch is now sold (although the asking price was quite high)

    Sorry, I did not want to tease. Asking price was 5900 EUR.

    High, but not ridiculous for a dial like that.
