so you assume that it was just repainted and not that the dial is not original?
Most have original dials, but not in it’s original state. Big difference.
But if you like the watch, no problem with that, wear it and enjoy it. It’s more that most collectors are quite the purist and would’t settle for a redial. So when you would want to sell a watch with a redial, you’d have a harder time selling.

sure sure, I understand you. No but in fact for me it is not a problem but I am also interested in understanding all the differences as an enthusiast. How would an original dial look like? Thank you very much for the information

I’m not even sure yours is a redial. It’s hard to tell because of the not-so-sharp picture. Could be just deteriorated paint and discolouration. The 3-6-9 look good te me.

I can’t find any good pictures of similar watches of this reference online to show you what it should/used to look like.
