Case numbers date this 14k Universal at 1945. The whole watch - case, dial and movement appear in very good shape. The case shines with only a few superficial scratches, yet the case edges are 'new-sharp', as if it has not been aggressively polished. The dial appears accurate, with no off-line hour marks, and minute gradient is symmetrically and evenly located. At high magnification, the line quality does break down... Zaf -- from your experience and gut feeling, does the dial appear 'original' or refinished? Thank you, as always, and best regards.       | ||

Looks like a redial to me. | ||

Thank you again. I biased that direction as well.. and sent it back. Pretty piece to the naked eye, though... Best regards | ||

It is a redial. Original dial that old has patina, sometimes dirty, fading etc... |
