Carefully check the spelling of each word on the dial. When copying another dial, kerning and degraded paint can be misleading, particularly if you don't speak the language!

I'm guessing that he means that the watch shouldn't be referring to this:

 

I'm not sure what you are referring to specifically, but the "3300 fts" is correct on that dial. The majority of caribbean 1000 models are printed that way.

[Edit: sorry, I missed the "canbbean". ]

 

Canbbean instead of Caribbean ^_^

 

Should be Caribbean rather than Canbbean

edit: looks like i posted few seconds too late @No Mercy beat me to it...

 

Sorry for not being specific, I've always liked a sly allusion over an explicit statement. Nice "Can o beans", @rcs914.

 

Even has it's Beans & Rice bracelet!

 

Only those of us in the know go to canbbean. They rest of you can suck it.

 

Wait. So, is that for sure a re-dial or some sort of weird lens distortion hiding the full letter i ?

Who the hell would redial a Paul Peugot?

 

Yup.

 

No.

 

Dear god, just seen this doing some post research on Jenny’s. It defies belief that anybody could get this so wrong! All that trouble gone through, and let’s face it, not a small amount of skill in undertaking the re-finishing (whether you approve of the re-dial process) and you drop the ball like this. Also, as a customer you don’t spot it.

 

Actually the minute markers are quite a bit different to the original as well.

 

Oh, perhaps they’re not. All depends on the model.
