    I am skeptical this dial is original. The are a few issues that raise concern, IMO. First, I believe the subdial for the seconds should be recessed on an original. This does not appear to be the case with this dial. Second, is the disparity in condition of the front versus back of the dial. The back looks dirty and worn, while the front is relatively clean. The back also shows two spots where original feet might have been removed. My 2c

    There's no way the lume should be that color. Even NOS (however unlikely) would have a patina by now.

    Country of origin? Suspect as well. Id stay away.

    Yeah, I considered Cypress as a possible red flag.
