Saw that one - it has features consistent with an original dial and others that are not. Price not bad though even if it is a redial if the movement is clean.

For me I will say redial.

This is for the manual wind experts - paging Bill Sohne, mac_omega and others.

Be nice to see a movement picture . . .
Unfortunately, the nature of this auction is upon enquiry only... So I never bothered to ask for more pictures. I had a hunch it wasn't original, partly because of the lack of acute accent over the e of Chronometre. But I don't think that's a fool proof method for originality...Nice watch though!

I have never seen this type of dial before and I have seen many of them... but it is not impossible that this is a legit dial - I can not tell by this picture only - would need much larger pics from different angles...
Hands (h+m) are not original to this watch for sure.

This needs a high resolution photo of the dial outside the case to formulate an opinion.

the angles on some of the roman numerals don't look right, the "v" in seven and the ten.....

redial.

I think it's an older redial.

Here are a couple that I believe have original dials:

The OP's dial is a bit odd in that luminous dials generally come with luminous hands.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the fact that the (gold) hands don't match the case or dial. That leads me to believe that the dial is refinished.

I actually thought the case was gold, but the color in the photo was off a bit.

I'm sure I'm not the only one.

The shape of the minute hand is wrong, it should be like this

I think it is not a luminous dial but a kind of "mirrored" numbers...

I mentioned that the hands were wrong - see my first assessment...😀

Agree, OPs watch has mirror figures.
