Didn't even realise about this discussion until someone mentioned it to me, gotta catch up with all the threads after being away for 4 weeks! That dial looks ok to me, especially with all the inconsistencies from UG. But Lucas made a strong argument, will definitely need to see more evidence from different dials to be more certain of the originality.

Here is one sold by Hodinkee, with serial number quite close to @isnardi's watch,

Appeared to be the same watch that @Modest_Proposal has posted on the first page,

No dog in this debate...But a) Love the dial in question and the watch so @isnardi wear in good health b) there is no documentation like Sala for three handers but from examples shown and we all know about the customization but.... its a pretty significant departure stylistically. c) Its definitely got flaws that point to a one off but its beautiful. d) I don't see any warning signs in the watches for sale at the retailer in question.

I have two dials based on this design, but without the 1894 logo. This looks earlier plus unusual case.

It is interesting that your dial, very similar to mine has thicker numbers and a pointy A, so UG did mix pointy and flat A ! They really did everything to mess with the fans in the future :whipped: ! 😉
