I think that's a dealer's wall clock, with a light inside....

Still, could be a redial I suppose - why not? 馃榿

BTW, the keeper of this redial is the airport authority at Zurich. Meant to post this on April 1...

Here's a good one:

Dial: Original, professionally refinished.




At least the movement looks nice:

Here is a screenshot of the seller's listing photo regarding my post above. 33 bids, nearly $2000.

The dial is either fake or horribly redone. Shame, as everything else seems to be in order on that watch.

These later -76s had the same dials as the -78 and all 1980s Speedmasters, so it wouldn't be terribly difficult to remedy, thus leaving you with a decent piece. At nearly $2000 it's way too high though.

I believe that the hour and minute hands are incorrect as well. But I agree with you that someone went to a lot of trouble to create a fake dial when a real one isn't that expensive at the moment.

Yes, the hands are wrong too - forgot to mention that as the dial was such a glaring problem!

I think this might have been a redial from long ago, when that was still thought of as a viable solution to dial damage etc.
