Redial or not. I should know but still unsure.

I saw this for sale locally and it just looks too good to be true. I have been looking at dials for a number of years now and unfortunately I still am not an expert, not even very knowledgeable. I think that it's totally original but I would like more expert opinions. I am thinking of making an offer. Thanks very much in advance.

Heavy handed printing, wrong fonts and spacing, IMHO

Or, crummy pictures with heavy manipulation and compression

10 and 12 were put on in a game of “pin the tail on the donkey”

Look at all the places the cross hair meets the outside markers.

Tip
Now find another example of the watch and post it here.

Okay, okay, I still have lots to learn. Thanks all for your knowledge and assistance.

Monitor, I am a Luddite. Mobile phone images are about as far as I can manage.

You need the non redial to learn.

Then you have the benchmark for all others you see.
It doesn’t have to be a pristine example but a correct untouched dial you can compare against.

Be careful with your diagnosis from such a tiny screen on expensive watches where the tinyest details can be lost and unseen.

But I can understand your attraction to it … love can be blind 🥴

Unfortunately this can be true , love certainly is blind but sometimes it certainly can work out as a person coming up to 40 happy years of happy marriage can vouch for.
