    Yep, it's a 50's dial in a 40's case

    Guys, here is a "better" picture of this dial. I won the item and asked the seller ...

    I still have my doubts but I think it's original. May I have your thought ? :)

    Looks pretty crisp to me. Redial alarms not going off.

    Erase your doubts - it's gorgeous; nicely done. Just shows how poor original seller pics can raise doubt and provide a great opportunity for a calculated gamble. Congratulations! Also, thank you for sharing these much more crisp pics.

    My irony sometimes gets missed through a forum post.

    Yes, I know this looks like a POS, but after following this listing multiple times, I was just wondering if it might look a bit better in person, maybe the buyer had a in-person experience with it before pulling the trigger.

    And if it might have been a Forum member, my learning experience would be enhanced if more pictures and an account of it were posted.

    My perspective is that if the seller is asking for a pile of cash and can't be bothered to take a decent photo there is something wrong.

    but if the photos are bad, that is where you buy the cheap watches...

    Nice watch. Is the lume of the hands original or refreshed?

    I am assuming refreshed. The hands are not original to my watch (the original hands are pencil blue hands which I have kept aside). I put these ones on because I was always fascinated by Sword hands.
