Hi Nicolas...
This is an interesting one, as the script (which is very difficult to copy well) appears to be original. I also have a hard time faulting it in most other respects.
Having said that, I posted it because I believe that there is a "dead" give away, suggesting that it is almost certainly a redial. I welcome any corrections if I am wrong, but this is my perspective: It reads "T SWISS MADE T", yet this dressy style of dial and hands typically had no luminous material applied. So why, pray tell, would a simple, elegant dial such as this have not one, but two references to Tritium?
Regards,
Tony C.
Difficult to say, Tony
I would say NOS dial, but I would like to see macro pics of this dial before any definitive judgement. Your opinion? Best, Nicolas
Redial...
To me the cross hairs seem too thick/bold. I have to say though, it's very nice. Cheers David

Not original...
Tony, I agree with everything that you've said. Everything looks good with the exception of the "T Swiss Made T". Two problems: it shouldn't be "T" with the reasons you've stated, and the location of it. Otherwise the watch does look very nice. Am I corre...
Correct, Tony
I don't know very well this model, but I made a search, and you're right, no T Swiss Made T dial! Bloody well redone! Best, Nicolas
The irony, of course, is...
that someone would have produced such a good redial, yet made such an obvious mistake! Best, Tony
Agree
Tony, it is indeed a very nice redial job. Normally the "Swiss Made" would have been placed a lot higher on the dial with a less skillful craftsman. This one is actually almost as good as the original one. I suppose it's not possible to get the replacemen...
A tad late....
with my opinion...... but redial.... the cross is a bit too thick also Cheers
I was lucky
I honestly didn't know the difference in the weight of the lines. So I can say about two things: learn something new everyday, and I was lucky to have bought mine.
Looks like a redial to me...
... and the crown looks a bit too large as compared with MartyW's example. While the "T"'s are incorrect, although I've seen a before and after on a dial of a similar watch where the restoration work was done through JLC. It looks like a good quality job ...
