    I stumbled upon this watch on one of prominent dealer / collector on IG. Any red flags concerning the dial?

    I vote redial, but a good one. Dial is way too clean for 70-80 year old watch.

    All depends on the price.

    Redial. Too clean to be original.

    Any photos of the case back and/or movement?

    Eh, I just asked about the price and didn't enquire further due to my lack of funding lol

    Aside from the dial being too clean, aren't the minute markers inconsistent too (i.e. 5s)?

    Signature is way off. Should almost certainly be two-toned. Here is an original for comparison.

    I was going to say the same: not "too clean" but dial signature way off. Also you'll note the horizontal line over shoots the central circle just a tad near the 9.

    I saw the same post and same watch on instagram. My first reaction was wow, that's nice, but after bringing it up on my computer I agree with many above and say the dial doesn't look quite right. I don't know if it's been mentioned but this watch was offered from Bob Maron, I don't know if he's passing the watch off as an original dial, I didn't bother to ask because A) Bob is overpriced B) he passes too many questionable watches to be a 'super dealer' in my eyes. I'd stay very far away If i was you all.

    Many small flaws and smudges in the graphics.
    Not so bad redial, but definitely redial
