    Good grief, I could hardly be more new and shiny here, but even *I* can see that looks a bit ropey.

    I'm very much enjoying the way the minute track has been done in straight lines to create some kind of pseudo pin-pan homage.

    Unless it really *is* pie-pan but masked by the optical clarity of that lovely crystal...

    At least that said redone, although in BS jargon. It look absolutely horrible. I seriously think I could have don’t better, or at least not worse, and I’m a stick figure artist

    I will add one to the mugshot list of bad dials - in search of a new dial now . I finally got it under a magnifier and man was it scary. In this case the old adage applies - good from far, far from good!
    Anybody have a serviceable dial 1950s vintage 2582?

    I went through the thread, and I'm terrified!
    Who would do that and for god sake who would buy that!
    Unbelievable examples of filthy mixtures of stupidity/greed/ignorace and total lack of taste.

    I believe that desperation is highly represented in that mix as well.

    OMFG ?
    As a total newbie it would be great to see alongside the fakes, inept or just plain wrong what the purveyors of these dials were trying to emulate.
    yes, I could open up another tab and go looking through several decades of Constellations...

    thx to those posting. Some of these dials are really poor/obvious. Personally I like seeing the crisply etched fresh engraving in a case back on a watch allegedly 50 years old

    Besides the print I like this pragmatic solution to a marker problem.

    This Zenith has so many jewels they had to repaint it twice. Funny it’s an 18 jewel 120t. Seller states honesty is the best policy but his location says Lahore, USA
