    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.
    Best regards

    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.

    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.
