Longines dial question of redial

I don't see any reason why the dial cannot be original. The gold-capped versions of this reference to appear to be very uncommon, but gold "mirror" indices, like those on the dial in question, would match perfectly. As for the style, there are similar ones in catalogues from the '50s, and here is a ref. 4914 that was sold on this forum:

It features applied indices, and a textured dial, but the basic style is quite similar.

Hi, the lack of the logo means that it was produced before 1951-1952, this is why i believe is a replacement.

Maybe the dial is original, but not with this "party": movement & case.

That's possible, but assuming that the condition of the movement matches that of the other parts that you have shown, it is difficult to imagine why there would have been a need for a dial replacement.

Also, the movement may have replaced. Here's a ref. 4914 without the logo, produced earlier:

The case reference is 4914 33. 33 stands for the 33rd version. I have 2 variants with the logo... almost the same number of the serial movement (964x xxx and 965x xxx)... check here:

This model was made for a very short period of time, where the dials had that logo.
Later edit with the serial numbers.

It is too much of a coincidence to believe that the movement was replaced. I would rather believe this if i see an 1940s model with this case reference, not the other way around.
