Hi,
I am new here in this Forum, thanks for the inclusion.
First I have to apologize for my bad english, I am from Austria.

Does anybody know if that Dial is genuine or fake ?
I am not sure because of the "FAVRE-LEUBA" sign.
And what do you think about the watch ? Is it attractive for collecting ?
Thank you in advance!
Best regards

Dial looks like it has probably been refinished and the case looks polished, both bad things for a vintage watch.

More larger photos would help to evaluate the watch better.

Hi,
thank you very much for your reply.
Here are more photos.

EDIT:
How do you spot that the dial could be renewed ?

I agree with @X350 XJR.
Look at the case back that has been polished to death.

How do you spot that the dial could be renewed ?

If you hav handled many many watches, you just see it.
Here, the paint on the dial looks uneven and although quite a good job the printing just does not look right.

By the way: Imho the seconds hand is wrong.

Hi, thanks. You are right, I am not going to buy this watch. You saved me a lot of money 😀
What would you say about that watch ?
