    Looks like a redial to me. Fonts are off, and the subdial printing doesn't fit as they should among other things

    My thoughts on the 3s also, but what got me wondering was this one. Different ref from a different seller (sold) and s lot of the characteristics of the dial are exactly the same, Inc the 3s. Two redials by the same guy? Two later replacements from UG?

    One reference number apart ( once I confirm case back!)

    both are redials ....

    4's, 6's and 9's are also wrong (make that the whole font as it is wonky) and so is the logo. It is all wrong. I am unsure if the faded tachy ring is an attempt at making it look the part of just a cock up while printing. It is missing "swiss", but that is not a big deal. However, definitely not UG work! Additionally the calendar and minute register are off-center on both tris. Summarizing, it is a bit of a playschool attempt at redialing ...

    Does not have to be the same guy. Could be two guys with a similar cliches.
