Dial looks to good to be true but I can't say that it's a redial. But is this a genuine color?
What do you think?

Seller thinks so, scroll down to his description

“Dial/Face Color: Wine, repainted and refurbished Wine”

Lot of such peculiar but not unattractive dials in eBay, especially from some South Korea based sellers. They figured out some good dial refurbishing technique but choose some wacky modern looking colours.

Recently stumbled upon a nice deal in Japan, for a Meister 168.022, worn but terribly cheap. I hope one forum member got it.

The original sparkle silver dial is amazing, when time(finance) comes I'll definitely be on the lookout for one of those!

If the price is right and mechanically sound, it’s a good choice as long as the seller doesn’t claim it’s something it’s not. If the dial is a quality refinish, you find it attractive and something you’ll enjoy wearing, go for it. I showed this picture to my wife and she said she would wear it. One of those great unisex sizes with true vintage roots.
