Dial is wrong, a 6610 should have a Swiss only dial

The 6610 is one of THE most impossible dials to source in the wild. You may wait years to even see a dial at any price. The watch loses over half of it's value with a non original dial....that's not the best example of a case that I've ever seen either.

Is that an early service dial, Tommy, or just a refinished dial? Actually, looking at it again, I think it's probably refinished...

Yeah...I don't think it's real at all...I don't know that there are T SWISS T service dials in gilt. There are SWISS -T <25 t dials...

But I think by the time T SWISS T happened they would be matte with white. I could certainly be wrong.

Is that a correct 5610 (and not 6610) caseback?

I think it says 6610...even the second 6 is a bit weird..5 ish.

The bezel is so over polished...I'm not sure it can even be brought back. The bezel on the 6610 is distinctively wide and flat...this one looks a dress model.
