Help with bubbleback

I have the opportunity to purchase this watch and I was hoping someone here could share there knowledge on it. It is a reference 5028. I know the bracelet is wrong. I am concerned about the dial as there is no swiss or Swiss made on it. Thank you for looking.

Dial seems to be a poor redial.

Yes, looks like a bad redial and bad lume job, probably done decades ago. Unfortunately, it is near impossible to find another dial. Hopefully its priced accordingly.

Thank you for the replies. What do you think the value of the watch is considering the dial and bracelet being wrong?

love the model, but I agree, getting a Precision dial for a large BB would be nearly impossible. You can probably find OOC dial, but it's not correct for the model.
