are we assuming a rythmos branded 285 inside ?

I asked for a pic and the movement is Uweco and the case is marked Berthoud 😁 Serial fits in a long list of Uweco and Berthouds

Interesting dial on a Dutch site: https://www.marktplaats.nl/v/sierad...ren/m1826821896-universal-geneve-herenhorloge

Redial of service? I think redial

I’ve never seen a printed U shield dial that I considered original or service

Well: I don't know but the printing of this dial is a bit off but on the other end pretty high quality

That's my view. Especially the raised numbers. Pretty nice.

Wonderful (and matching) Jaeger 22436 in Japan: https://curious-curio.jp/watch/46773 Hands are wrong I think. Dial relumed, print feels correct but interested to hear other opinions. Close sibling looks completely different: https://www.uhren-muser.de/en/50040/jaeger-fab-suisse-chronograph

I think both look good to me (but agree about the hands)
How can you tell the dial was relumed? Is it that ghosty distortion?

The lume of 6 & 12 (and for that matter the bars) looks a bit sloppy.

It does look sloppy - wondering if this could be due to time/age/deterioration or definitively it's relumed? If it was relumed it should've been done better! Maybe it was done a long time ago to refresh the dial/luminosity as was customary back in the golden age when owners didn't consider originality but cared more about functionality??

Dial looks good, not sure about lume. Wonder if someone applied lume over a non lume dial when they put the wrong hands on?

Interesting view but I think you may be on to something.

In my super humble opinion it is impossible to say if dial is relumed or not, without a Geiger counter and the watch in your hands...

Fair point. Problem in this case is that my Japanese is a bit rusty and it is a 10 hour flight 😁

If someone buys the Jeager above from Curious Curio, I have a potentially correct set of subdial hands (I say potentially because there are a few different styles used and it would depend on the hour hand combination). These silver hands for black dials are near impossible to find.

Interesting Martel: https://www.ricardo.ch/de/a/montre-martel-universal-geneve-de-1946-1203023954/

At first I thought the 1316100 was the serial but it appears to be the reference since this Mervos has it as well:
