I was told this dial was aftermarket so i decided to ask the experts, its from 1991.

any input?

thesharkfactor · 29 September 2016, 05:53 AM

That's a fake watch so the dial is fake too.

Agreed.. spied it straight away, fuzzy pic or not, its a counterfeit watch. It's not from 1991 either, it looks like a brand new (fake) watch.

I think the guy is trying to test us...

AK797 · 29 September 2016, 06:03 AM

Yup, doesn't look real at all.

Cobain · 29 September 2016, 06:16 AM

Oh wow, i came for a dial. I hope not getting trolled lol.

Be careful got 5 point warning for saying someone knew that they are post a fake watch and wanted to see if anyone could tell. I guess i hurt his feelings.

But the watch is fake the crown guards are way off and i saw that in the first 5 seconds of looking at this picture. Hopefully you didn't buy the watch already.

I uploaded updated pictures, but its awaiting moderation...

White plastic gasket under the crystal too.. that's for the bin.

Cobain · 29 September 2016, 06:34 AM

You've got to be kidding me.

I came for the dial and got lot more than i bargained for.

Anyone have a different opinion?

thesharkfactor · 29 September 2016, 06:50 AM

Did you buy this, and if so was it sold to you as a genuine watch?

If in doubt, get it inspected by a jeweller.

thesharkfactor · 29 September 2016, 07:05 AM

The more I look at those new pics, I am actually beginning to doubt my initial assessment. Definitely get it checked out..

Cobain · 29 September 2016, 07:11 AM

Seems like everyone else gave up, I think the band is fake, it's pins not screws.

thesharkfactor · 29 September 2016, 07:14 AM

..and if it was a 1991 dial it would be "Swiss T<25" not "SWISS MADE" at 6.

If in doubt, there is no doubt..

I think so too and the watch so most probably had enough of it already!

Its like taking a photo of the side of a model and asking us if she is beautiful?

Post decent photos looking straight at dial, and photo of serial number between the lugs, so we can make some sort of authoritative response

If the dial were original, yes. Now if the watch received a new dial at RSC, it would say Swiss made.

Perhaps the OP is testing the more knowledgeable members. I think he knows it's 'no good'.
