I think that is St Christopher not St George. No idea if it is genuine but at 28mm it doesn't look very appealing even if it is. There is nothing to suggest any military connection like the seller claims.

Was truly thinking about a dial with a guy killing a huge dragon to get a girl.

Kind of disappointed with that old dude carrying a kid on his shoulder.

All Saints are equal in my book. Christopher, George, Pauli
John, Paul, George, Ringo?

I’ve never understood the how and why of this reference.

Why this saint? Why this price at the time? Why this rotating bezel?

Nethertheless the dial, in good condition, looks very nice

This is St. Christophorus, my Father had it once as a silver coin in his car.

Why ?

See the bold text !

"Christophorus is often depicted in Western church iconography as a giant with a staff carrying the infant Jesus on his shoulders across a river. He is one of the fourteen emergency helpers and today is especially known as the patron saint of travelers."
