    Another Indian redial. Steer very clear.

    I'm not saying you should never buy a watch from India or Ukraine, but....

    Never buy a watch from India or Ukraine :p

    The movement appears original to the case, but the dial is an utter catastrophe. "Fake" might be a strong term, but "close to worthless as a collectible" would be spot on.

    It's a derogatory slang term for the shoddy redials done in India.

    I believe the rouges gallery of shoddy redials starts with India, Argentina and the Philippines vie closely for second.

    I've seen some good work come from the Philippines and South America though. The worst from India are the FL's with the pastel colored dials. ::puke::

    Bangkok is also a steady source of faux military seamaster dials.
