·I believe that your feeling that indices looks like plastic is because somebody polished them. Either to get rid of patina or to get rid of excessive paint (from repainting process). I hate this 🙁

··Oooo subtitles!It's not fake, its been repainted. That is what they mean by redial. It is quite an attractive tidy job, just not original. Note how there are empty lume wells at the end of the indices. Oh and I think the hands have been replaced also. In short its pretty but junk.

·Hello everyone ! I came across this cal 268 allegedly from 1960 and I'm a bit cautious about the dial. The numerals and all the other parts look to me... like plastic. I'm a beginner so I may be wrong but doesn't it look to fresh and shiny to be that old ?
Thanks a lot for your opinion !

·As others have said not a fake, but a refinished dial.
