    Genuine or a Mumbai special?

    Black dial with two diamonds at each quarter hour but no Swiss marking anywhere.

    Looks just like this dial:

    If the anchor moves it would be hard to be a Frankenstein right?

    Lots of examples without Swiss made out there. Huge dial variation too boot.

    To be honest I didn't check to see if the anchor moved, will have to verify that if I see the watch again.

    I didn't realize some dials didn't have the Swiss marking, I was told that if it's not there on any watch then it's probably a re-dial.

    I looked on ebay and did a Google image search and every Voyager dial I looked at had either Swiss or Swiss Made on the dial.

    I think I've one of these laying around...hold on,,,yep

    I feel like every legit one I've seen says SWISS on the dial.


    I think those weird colored ones are from India

    You did a better search than me Foo2rama, I didn't see those.

    I ended up buying the watch, (and for the sake of honestly with plans to resell it and make a bit of money myself,) and I'll post some dial pics on Saturday.

    I'm wearing it right now and trying hard not to fall in love with it ::love:: And the anchor on the dial does spin.

    I decided to remove the movement from the case as I thought the inside of the crystal was foggy but it turns out it was just smudged, most likely from Rodico.

    As a side note, I'm a bit pissed off with myself as I forgot to cover the lug with tape and when I removed the case back I put a small scratch under the lug which wasn't there before ::censored::

    I took some more pictures of the dial and there isn't any Swiss marking but it doesn't appear to be a redial.
