Is this dial genuine or repainted? My feeling is that it is repainted. What do you think?

 

I think its original, but would need better close up pictures to be 100% sure.
This is a large (around 37.5mm w/o crown) 50s model with suncen indices and logo.
These sandwich dials looks really cool when looking close.

Compare it to mine (which has the 12.68zs centersecond movement otherwise looks the same).

 

I also recently had a similar dial in a smaller (or the more regulary sized) case at 35mm.
But the front on this was different compared to the larger:

 

n/a

 

My first impression is similar to yours mainly as I find the circle is sort of "uneven" (not sure it is the correct term)... Like between the 1 to the 2 markers, and around the 7 o'clock one too.

I guess the second hand is also wrong or too short too. I'd rather see an applied wing logo rather than drawn...

But, I'm sure other gurus here might give you better feedback than me. Maybe I'm just making a fool out of myself

Do you have a serial number of it?

 

What I react to is that the text Longines is so black and sharp and that I miss swiss at 6. I may be wrong in my assumption and everything is ok. But unfortunately it is very much redial out now on sales ads

 

The dial looks original, to me. However, I would not call these sandwich dials as they are only made of a single disc of brass. The sandwich dials of the 1930s/1940s (by Stern Freres) are made of two discs of brass that are riveted together.

 

Sorry for my wrong usage of the word sandwich dial, was just trying to explain the suncen down indeces and logo!

About the stort second hand, most I have seen of these with the crosshair subdial has the same short hand. And no swiss at the bortom is also very common!

 

I think it's original; this is my 6264 with a similar dial



The indexes are embossed IMO

 

THanks for all the info. Then I was wrong in my assumptions. Then I learned that this dial should look like this.

 

Just wondering why you think it´s repainted?

 

I go with original. Around the markers/numbers this dial would be incredibly hard to repaint without a tell & looks fine.

 

The font seems off to me, imho that's a redial.

 

Have you compared it to similar original dials? Or what information are you using for your assumption that this dial is redialed?

 

Based on the dials of @hejsam and @bubba48 , I couldn’t say for sure.


The font is different than the 35mm models (both below), more comparable to the larger one of @hejsam (top right).
But the writing is a bit of: the “G” feels strange for me.

I’m not saying the dial is a redial, I don’t have a lot of knowledge about Longines, but merely looking at small differences.

 

Based on the photo TS provided one cant tell for 100% but IMO it looks good based on the ones I have seen/owned, would probably need good macro shots and compare it side to side with another example.

But as you can see on my similar jumbo model above the text looks rather sloppy at first but close up on macro shots all good, I would think the TS watch also looks better close up.

 

I agree, that’s also my thought.

 

yes I have compared it, and because of that it seems a redial to me. if you look at the comparison posted by @Mauzer, there is a difference. Or at least I see it.

 

The subtle difference(s) that you note are within the acceptable tolerances. All dials shown above are quite clearly original.

 

I respectfully disagree: in my opinion, almost all the letters of the logo are different from what we are used to see on Longines' dial from that era.
But well, that's me, I can be obviously be wrong
