    In my recent Tokyo trip, I had lunch with a collector / dealer from there, and among the stuff he brought for me to ogle was this:

    IMG_3351.jpg
    This looked legit in the metal. And it was a beauty!

    As for the one you're following, I am bothered by a few inconsistencies - the difference in print weight of the 30 and 15 in the minute register and the difference between the 30s of the two subdials.

    one of the things I like to see on these is a flat 3 on the right subdial and a round 3 on the left subdial. Not saying it's the only test, but it's one thing I pay attention to........

    I think the dial looks good, the font could be different between sub-dials I've seen many watches (not restricted to only UG), since they serve different purposes. LouS' ads are gold in this case. Anyway you need a better resolution pics to judge well.

    Dang, looks pretty okay to me!

    The chrono hand is off center, but nothing else seems out of whack (quick glance at work) :p
