Of the dial, which in fact is legitimate. So of course the next logical thing considering the overall condition should be price in most anyone's book. After all the OP obviously is interested in possibly purchasing the piece no? It's a very subjective thing when it comes to wabi/aging of vintage watches but if a newbie happens to like a particular look then a bit of restraint should be exercised in commenting. Things like "run" or differences in movement component colors, or "I don't particularly like it" are not as helpful as advising on value price-wise. The watch is aged and shows it, so obviously it's not for everyone. Just like safe queens are out of the price range for most newbies and hobbyists as well. How is anyone supposed to learn unless they pick up some legitimate oldies to play with?
Wow, You remind me of an American friend of mine - he too is like a dog with a bone when he has an opinion to defend.
to quote the OP
“
Hey! So I’ve done some homework on this one. The movement looks right, the only thing that seems off is the writing on the dial. It looks repainted but I’mnotsure.” (Sic)
I’m happy to repeat myself if it helps.
No-one is saying that when buying a watch the price is not important.
But it is not always the most important thing as you are continuing to contend.
it was very obvious the OP was asking for comments on more than just the dial.
By mentioning the movt they solicited views on that too - it is a logical progression to also mention the condition of the case.
The movt is patently not ‘right’ and whilst of course parts can be changed over the life time of the watch, multi coloured elements are often a sign of a cobbled together movt.
If the OP learns anything from this thread, it was this lesson.
I don’t know the OP but often new members just want to buy a good watch without getting burned.
I know that’s what I wanted when I started collecting, I had no interest (Or the disposable income) in learning by playing with oldies.
I learned the potential pitfalls by reading the threads here (just like this one) and presented my first purchase target for comment by the members.
Fortunately, I got it right and by chance I’m wearing that very watch right now.
