    That would be a mistake.

    Original is always the best right ? :)

    Almost always. A redial essentially removes it from collector interest.

    I could buy this one for around one thousand bucks ... The case is in good shape ...

    The price seem's reasonable.

    What is your opinion ?

    It depends on
    1) size. The larger the watch, the better the deal. For a less than 34mm watch, not such a deal. For a 37mm or greater watch, pretty good deal.
    2) what kind of a collector you are. If you just want any UG, it's fine. But It is in second-class condition and it is not a rare reference. My perspective is that it is not worth using ammunition on this piece that would be better spent bringing down bigger and better game.

    The case is 35mm.
    I have already ordered Sala's book, should arrive soon.
    Maybe it's a better idea to wait ! :)

    I think there are more interesting UG that won't be that much more expensive. I think you can still find this equivalent UG 6 months from now. People are unloading these since other UG have gotten so expensive. It would have to be an extremely rare watch for me to buy in this condition.

    For whatever it is worth, I've found that grotty dials like this with fairly even spotting is much easier on the eyes in the flesh. It is all-original except for the crown and the case condition seems to be pretty good overall.
