Incoming this afternoon - a 14900 on BOR in a lovely Ω box. The eBay auction had a 900$ starting price, and I was the only bidder. I never learn to understand bidding psychology.
killer find. congrats!
Calling @Peemacgee !
Few questions on the dial: Are the fonts corret???
Are there serifs?
Chronometer O is off MOY
Star is off cross hair
Crosshiar exeeds the minute marking at 6
Here a 14900 from the recommended ebay sales section:

EDIT: +1: "M" in "Automatic" and "Chronometer" look different
I have to confess that when I looked at this yesterday I had my concerns.
I generally agree with your comments plus the crosshairs clipping the e in Constellation and the 5 min hache at 7 looks inconsistent.
However, I’m travelling, can only view on my phone and the pics aren’t good enough to be sure and different dial makers do have variations, so I tend to stay silent on redials unless I’m certain.
I think hi-res pics or viewing in hand with a loupe is the key to this one.
I'd be happy to provide a better photo. As you say, there are dial variations, the gold 14900 above having a sunburst center. Until then, I have this photo from when I opened the box:
Well that goes to show how certain pics distort dials.
The cross hair/star looks more centred.
The 7 marker looks bettter.
The MOY relationship and clipping the e is still unusual but variations have been seen before.
I think a close inspection with a loupe is still the best option.
Best of luck - let us know what you find.
Until I dig out my macro gear and tripod, this is the best I can do 😁
I agree that the star is very slightly misaligned, but certainly within acceptable limits. Take a look:
It’s a strange one that’s for sure and like @Peemacgee i decided it wasn’t the place to comment.
Some aspects look spot on and other areas not so much.
Hopefully when you view through a loupe you can make a better judgement.
Fingers crossed good luck.
Looks strange to me, fail MOY test, no sunburst, the dial surface looks quite matte?? And also wrong crown.
