5512...Dial Question.

What are your thoughts on this dial. It is a 1.26 million serial, 5512. The edges of the luminous look to be uneven...

Just from the pics, the markers look relumed. Also look around the print on the dial, they appear to have "shadows" around them, as if the dial was refreshed or cleaned.

What about the lack of Swiss at the 6 o'clock position? Do you think the whole dial has been painted?

Yep, that looks like a bad restoration job to me.

I agree. Looks redone and badly at that.
