Is this dial original or not ? It seems OK to my eyes but i'm not sure about what's are in the circle

 

To my eyes its ok...but of late there have been so many revelations....

 

Here are examples for comparison. I think the above example is a redial as the subdials are not right. Also the overlapping of the printing is a tell tale.

 

You have a compur with overlapping, right?

 

The drilled out lugs really bother me in this case, it's just pretty offputting for horn lugs in a gold dress watch. SS tool is one thing, this is quite another....

 

yup - Same one Dre used as an example recently.

 

Overlaping is documented on sala, and I found a very similar dial. I would say my dial is an early original

 

Finally the dial is not exactly the same (look at the 7)

I was unable to found a similar dial with this kind of font in the archives or in sala ...

This + the red flag on this dial ...

Finally i would say redial !

 

I also don't find a flat closed 6 either. But....never say never. Another generic dial stamped UG after printing?

 

From Menta ...

Maybe @Dre or @Diabolik could help ? You guys usually spots the redials from kilometers

 

Again the upper one is not okay the lower one is okay.

 

Well I now have a vested interest in that not being true for all early Compur.

 

This comes from the archives and we can see overlaping IMO

 

Others overlaping exemples in the archives ...

 

Thanks for suffering the eye strain!

 

Aren’t 12411 and 12401 kind of obvious redial?

 

That the archive is just kind of like non archive Sala pictures which are mixed? I think to prove this hypothesis, one has to spot a really very obvious redial that is not disputable in the archive pictures. I never really look through the archive with this mindset though and it is too late to do it now in Singapore. Will try tomorrow.
