Feel free to point and laugh--I was the one who asked. The OP was extremely kind and considerate, and, when he sent clearer pictures, I immediately retracted my questions regarding the dial. On the first pictures on his listing—which have now been significantly added to—one of the pictures of the dial had what seemed to me the sort of tell-tale heavy printing of a redial. With more pictures, it's clear I was wrong.

Still: absolutely. Point and laugh. As far as my comparison 168.005 being suspect: if someone has something specific to note about it, I'm all ears and, as this post makes clear, I'm certainly not an expert (I'm currently digging into the note from @seekingseaquest about the 12 o'clock marker).


The Skunk was a touch hyperbolic but certainly not enough to castrate.......maybe just Tar&Feather......this time.



See what I did there??😗

The fakes have gotten very good, especially with the dial print. It would be helpful to see caseback and side of case photos - feel free to PM or start a new thread.

I question the second one, however. I don’t recall seeing a dog leg constellation dial with only one single marker at 12.

I agree that a single marker at twelve is very unusual and it looked odd to me too.
Looking through 8 pages of ‘Pie pan porn’ I could find only one example of a single marker at 12. (From 2017)
Also a dogleg but no onyx insert
and a big star - so not by the same dial manufacturer.
However, whilst the pic of this example is too poor to assess the watch properly, I believe it to be a redial and with the wrong hands - so not a great example to support the theory that this style of dial exists.
BUT if it is only a redial and not a fake dial then there may be others out there.
Second BUT - the faceted bezel on both this watch and the one above would give cause for concern
Pic for reference
