Hi all,
I really like all the variations of the 30T2s from the 40's. This one is on ebay. See pics below. Let me know what you think. The dial looks decent but I can't tell if it has been touched-up/tampered with (something about the 8 seems off). Thanks for your time!

 

Just at first glance the paint work on the indices doesn't seem to be very clean, almost like the someone has painted over the lines, which makes me think the indices are redone at least. Also not sure if the paint from the number 7 is overlapping onto the sub dial as well.

 

Thanks for the feedback!

Whenever I evaluate a dial with mirror numerals I look closely at the infill, making sure there are no gaps between the mirror and the outline and that there are no missing sections. An original dial will have nearly perfect register between the two elements.

This one fails miserably.

 

an excellent tip, thanks !

 

Looking at the case, I think it is not in best shape, especially the lugs show major wear. I'm not sure that the hands are correct, because they all appear a tiny bit too long. The latter is just a thought and I can't provide any evidence.

 

Thanks all for the insights & knowledge.

That book is on my list now.

 

Well, this was really worth the thread, while the watch wasn't worth considering to buy it IMO...

 

X350 can you just help a poor newbie - are your comments about the gap between the outer index mark and where the dial meets the case which seem irregular?

 

Look closely at each of the numbers. On a factory original dial, the numerals should be filled perfectly with paint. However, these numerals are sloppy. Here, for example, is the numeral 4...


...Or the numeral 5:


See how the paint on the numeral 8 has bled into the interior?

 

Thanks for sharing - fantastic tip. Especially as I like Arabic dial either alternate or quarters on a watch
