    Hello, experts -

    This may be a really obvious question, so please don't shoot me down for being ignorant, but is this dial horrendously problematic?

    I suspect it is - the applied markers/numerals don't look accurate enough and it's just too... new for a mid-1950s watch. And I'm not sure about the crown either, for that matter. But this is just a guess; like I said, I'm no expert. But you are, so I'd appreciate your input. Thank you!

    Now that I come to look at it again, the subdial numerals look quite poor too...

    My goodness, that was fast. Thank you!

    Such a shame; the case and movement are lovely. Never mind. Will keep looking...

    <sigh> Sorry to have missed it! And thanks for the tip - now I know what I'm looking at.

    In a strange way, I wouldn't mind a redial (I'm buying to wear, not as an investment) - if only it was done well!
