Care to elaborate on that?

I’m not in the redial camp. Could use a better photo.

Just look at the right subdial. At least, it's a misprint.

It looked OK at a glance but on closer inspection it does not pass the test. Look at overlap of second runner chapter at 15 and 45 ... Additionally the 45 minutes register is incorrectly aligned. It is pretty good for a redial though ..

Granted I haven't taken a serious look at this, but offhand I'm not seeing an issue on right subdial alignment. With 45 at the top, quartered, you would expect to the see the 15 on the minute track hitting 11.25 on the minute subdial, which this appears to be doing.

This just popped up on C24 this morning, a similarish and higher res photo comparison. It's hard to evaluate the OP dial on the this thread from the one (not great) pic, in terms of fonts, serifs, etc....

honestly I think this test is pretty useless if you don't have a perfectly simmetric pic, that is - for istance - technically impossible for phones made pics.

OT: this dial is super nice, but this is the only original thing of this watch 🙁

Looks pretty symmetric to me. The faults are very clear.

I agree it's likely asymmetrical. That being said, so is bgrisso's posted example. What do you say to that?

I would say that it is no where near as asymmetrical. I have also yet to find a dial with such a square font !

😀

I know the photo is angled, but it looks askew to me. You're right that it's not as bad, seemingly.

superimpose them and I think that you will find that there is a big difference between the two (or maybe i am drinking a little too much rum during lockdown) ...

It's difficult to account for the anlges the pics were taken at. But the two sub dials look about the same to me. If you draw a line from the 22.5 through the 45 and up to the outer track, they appear to hit at the same place....
