hello,
I recently bought my vintage watch from online Shopee: they said original but the Dial was repaint. It seems Pontiac, The maximum number of stars is apparently 3. My watch has 4...After some internet research, I only found information confirming the 3* story. No pictures of Pontiacs with 4 stars and 2 dutch sites on pontiac watches with no mention of 4* watches.Can somebody help me identify my watch, the movement, Dial, is real?Thank you,

Hi @Yustinus and welcome to the forum. I don't think your watch is fake, but I do think the dial has been repainted. Repainted dials are not uncommon - vintage watch colletors call them redials, and usually avoid buying them. If you don't collect vintage watches, you may not care about that. Hopefully, you bought this one inexpensively 馃榾

You can鈥檛 complain about $35.
A service will cost you a lot more.

It says in the add the dial is reprinted.

Update us with some clear pictures when you get it

Examining the images more closely I can see that the facets of the lugs are not the same. Could be just a broad similarity of styling.

Found this YEMA Paris marked watch on Ebay that closely
resembles yours including the movement. Different case back though.
